Taggers have Allston businesses seeing redjamiereysen

The local business association is offering a $500 reward for information about taggers to curb the problem.

Juan Picón is the global co-chair of DLA Piper, one of the largest international law firms. He grew up in Madrid and was influenced by his father, a small-firm lawyer, to pursue a career in law. After working for other international firms for over 20 years, Picón helped move Squire Sanders' entire Spanish office to DLA Piper 11 years ago. Though the job requires significant travel, taking 220 days outside of Spain last year, Picón believes in a work-life balance and encourages younger lawyers to prioritize their personal lives as well. He is passionate about building relationships and sees the firm's diversity and emphasis on local connections as strengths that have contributed to its success.
This document summarizes a keynote speech about the changing legal services industry and the role of technology. The speaker notes that while headlines claim it is a bad time to go to law school or be a lawyer, this is an exciting time for those interested in how the law impacts people and society. There has been a huge increase in events and programs focused on legal technology and the business of law. Major investments in legal tech startups are also fueling changes. While some argue that law is too "special" to change, the speaker believes law is special but must also change to better serve people and address problems, where technology can help solve certain issues. Lawyers and technologists need to work together to find solutions.

They explored challenges such as state statutes around work permits and developing partnerships with local landlords and banks. The group performed a lip sync battle fundraiser that raised over $3,000 for Project 16:49 and advocated for a change to the state's work permit statute.
