“Demand for legal tech services is increasing rapidly in Australia as COVID-19 has drastically changed the way we work, particularly as lockdown restrictions have prevented in-person consultations,” said Nathan Polito, CEO, and founder of MODRON. “Technology is now a critical and effective tool in meeting the demand for legal support. Through Spaces, we offer virtual rooms where groups can discuss topics and share information, and face-to-face video conferences are an essential feature of the platform. MODRON’s partnership with Vonage ensures that users receive high quality, secure video calls. The Vonage Video API was easily integrated within our applications and the unique video call functionality Spaces provides.”

“With the surge in demand for online legal services, high-quality video calls that ensure uninterrupted and secure conversations have become critical,” commented Sunny Rao, Vonage Senior Vice President and General Manager for the Asia Pacific region. “The Vonage Video API facilitates secure and stable video communications, ensuring MODRON users can benefit from Spaces’ unique video call features and have productive consultations.”
