The Orange Rag Newsletter is Here! Hi and welcome to the October Orange Rag, in which we reveal that Linklaters, Herbert Smith Freehills and Clifford Chance have come out on top of newly-published law firm maturity rankings of the top 30 largest UK law firms. The Law Firm Maturity Index, now in its second year, ranks firms by their organisational maturity (OMINDEX) - a company performance rating across 32 factors including values, vision, innovation, learning and knowledge, remuneration, communication and decision-making. There are many reasons why the LFMI is important, but from a tech perspective, innovation is underpinned by culture and people, and high performing companies such as Toyota, Handelsbanken and Costco use the OMINDEX. Take a look at our top stories for more on that. Elsewhere we bring you the high-level details of Harbor’s acquisition of Ascertus Limited, and reveal our top story of October by a country mile, so continue reading to find out if that’s you. As usual you can come here for a recap in one place of all the wins, deals and people moves from the month. We’re going to be looking for reflections on what we’ve learned from 2024, so please contact us on newsroom@legaltechnology.com or me directly if you would like to contribute to the November/December Orange Rag, out at the start of December.

"In its current form, Section 230 allows for a diverse Internet ecosystem, allowing online services to moderate content in a way that best suits their needs and the needs of their users. It is highly unlikely that, in 18 months, Congress will come up with a better solution to online intermediary liability protection than the one America has now, which enabled the Internet to grow and flourish and the United States to become a global leader in the digital economy. The more likely result is that online services will lose vital liability protections, making the Internet a worse place for the average user and creating obstacles to innovation." https://lnkd.in/emePuKqU #InformationPolicy

ICYMI: The Federal Trade Commission has finalized its "click to cancel" rule, marking a big win for consumer rights. This rule ensures that canceling subscriptions will now be as simple as signing up, cutting through the hidden fees and unnecessary hoops consumers have faced for years. Such hoops, as Lindsay A. Owens, PhD put it are“ just one of the many ways that pricing feels unfair.” At Groundwork Collaborative, we’re committed to exposing these unfair practices and pushing for policies that protect working families and make the economy fairer for everyone.
