Alpha Legal outage Saturday 22.1.2022 - we're really sorry

After a week of apologies on the daily news, it is our turn to apologise.

A sorry Prime Minister.  Take that any way you like!

We're really sorry that Alpha Legal wasn't available earlier today.  We use the world's biggest and most secure cloud computing environment to power Alpha Legal, Amazon AWS, but today it let us down.  A problem with an overnight update caused Alpha Legal to be unavailable.

Our technical staff in the UK and US worked solidly all day to resolve the issue but we are very sorry for the inconvenience this will have caused our professional subscribers and their clients.  

If you need any more information about the outage today or the actions we have taken to prevent a reoccurrence, do get in touch.
