Sundeep takes on a new challenge and eLawNetwork.com takes a hiatus


Posted by Sundeep Chauhan - 21 April 2012


I am putting eLawNetwork on hiatus as I am leaving private practice and have started a new position with Motion Picture Association - Canada. The blog will stay up as a resource on past copyright matters with the disclaimer still applying:


“This site is published by Sundeep Chauhan personally and does not necessarily represent the views of any past, present, or future clients or employers." 


Great thanks to all those who have contacted me about the usefulness of the blog and my twitter account over the years! 


You can still follow me on twitter or contact me on LinkedIn.
