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.

2021 isn’t shaping up to be Oracle’s year, and we explain what this means for the Oracle licensee: for now, the Oracle licensee can count a few blessings and look forward to the future with less apprehension.
In this recently published article, co-authored with our partners Dean Bolton and Michael Corey of LicenseFortress, we discuss our observations regarding software license audits since the Covid-19 shutdown began just over one year ago.
Dean Bolton, chief architect at LicenseFortress, wrote about how recent observations point to the fact that Oracle LMS auditors are taking more aggressive approaches to Amazon-RDS license-included instances.
At the end of 2020, as the Christmas season was approaching, Lena Weiner of LicenseFortress posted the following wise words regarding preparing for Oracle’s end-of-fiscal-year. In cooperation with our partners and friends at LicenseFortress, we are reposting the sage wisdom here, with an easy quarter to go before Oracle’s fiscal year-end.
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.
