: The Common ScoldFOUR YEARS
After Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, photographer Russ Curtis and I traveled to New Orleans to report on how our legal technology community was coping.
One of our first stops was Stone Pigman Walther Wittmann to meet with IT director Janine Sylvas, (right) who won the 2005 IT Director of the Year award for her inventive and flat-out heroic efforts to keep both her firm and family afloat.
Sylvas has subsequently joined Law Technology News' board and is a frequent contributor.
In "Four Years Later" Sylvas is interviewed by fellow board member and New Orleans resident Tom O'Connor and discusses how the firm has adopted new disaster recovery/business continuity protocols and policies based on the lessons learned from the storm.
