For those who haven't met Masoud, he joined vLex in 2019, when it acquired Justis Publishing Ltd., a 33-year-old UK-based online legal publisher. He had been managing director at Justis since 1986. He has a master’s degree in computer science from Swansea University. vLex were a sponser of the ALLA Conference 2022.
