My guest today is Howard Lenow, partner at Lenow & McCarthy in Wayland, Masschusetts. Howard has been a union side labor lawyer for 38 years and is referred by his clients as a “pitbull with a sense of humor!” Howard is what I would call one of the godfathers of Mac-using lawyers, since he’s been using Macs since 1984 waaaaaaay before many of us even considered using Macs, AND when it was extremely difficult to collaborate with others who were all using Windows! Howard has tirelessly been teaching unions and lawyers how to use Macs and iPads at national ABA conferences, Massachusetts State Bar groups, the National Employment Lawyers Association, and many other professional organizations.
