No one can afford any illusions—the COVID-19 pandemic is the game-changer of our lifetime. Across all industries, the only thing that anyone knows for certain is that “business as usual” is a thing of the past. As the aging models that have dominated the distribution of legal services for decades come under increasing scrutiny, the legal industry is facing a degree of turmoil that it hasn’t seen for generations. With our combined decades as partners in the largest and most prominent law firms in the country, Beeman & Muchmore believe that the legal industry is best served by embracing change rather than resisting it. Although the pandemic has brought an immediacy to grappling with the future, the transformation in our industry has been underway for some time.
It is no secret—businesses of all types and sizes are reimagining their legal services, handling an increasing range of needs in-house and—for the balance—seeking highly specialized counseling that can be delivered free of the inefficiencies that burden traditional full-service law firms. We believe these trends will usher our profession to new heights of accountability and effectiveness. Accordingly, we are proud to launch Beeman & Muchmore, LLP —a new law firm specially designed to meet the emerging needs and demands of the new world.
We have represented companies of all sizes, in all industries, handling all types of matters that go to the heart of essential business operations.

We were thrilled to to be featured yesterday on Database Trends and Application’s website as they shared the news of our exciting new endeavor with LicenseFortress!
The nakedly optimistic legal axiom “Where there is a wrong there is a remedy” gives a blanket assurance that all legitimate grievances are inherently susceptible to redress. For those of us who live in the software licensing space and believe Oracle’s infamously aggressive auditing and licensing tactics are such a wrong, we often ask ourselves whether Oracle will ever find itself targeted by the right remedy at the right time.
If any of your company’s employees use Java – which, if you are tech or tech-adjacent, some almost certainly do – your company’s vulnerability to Oracle audits is likely to increase over the next few years. And, in this post, we explain why.
In Part III, we delve into the possible reasons why Oracle is pursuing a teen-focused social media app with data security problems and what this might mean for the hapless Oracle software licensee.
Now included in the LicenseFortress Premier subscription – at no additional cost – Beeman & Muchmore will provide legal counseling regarding how companies can deploy their technology to best avoid license violations.
