The June 2025 updates span multiple practice areas, delivering innovative templates, playbooks, trackers, and expert content that simplify complex legal workflows and enhance practitioner efficiency. Here's a look at what's new and noteworthy. 

Business Entities: State Specific Template & Resolutions 

This month’s updates feature a strong focus on state-specific templates for Professional LLCs and Benefit Corporations in Florida and Massachusetts. New materials include resolutions for commercial contracts and membership interest sales, offering users precise, jurisdiction-tailored guidance. Florida Benefit Corporations receive several vital additions, such as bylaws, organizational meeting documents, and dissolution plans 

Construction: Resource Kits & National Guidance Updates 

Construction law updates include the Architect Services Agreement Playbook and a comprehensive Mechanic’s Lien Resource Kit tailored to Kentucky. Also notable is the transformation of eight AIA and DBIA guidance documents into Practice Notes for easier reference.

Environmental: Compliance Tracking & Litigation Insights 

In the environmental arena, the platform now offers rich new content on hot-button topics. Highlights include a case study on New York City’s Local Law 97, an environmental citizen suit pre-suit notice chart, and early insights on the Loper Bright decision’s implications.
