Martindale-Hubbell to Provide Email for Legal Professionals Through lawyers.com

NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ and MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – October 25, 2001

Martindale-Hubbell, publisher of the most comprehensive directory of the worldwide legal profession, and ZipLip, the leading provider for advanced messaging and collaboration solutions, announced a new service to offer free Web-based email for lawyers through Martindale-Hubbell's lawyers.com site.

ZipLip's mail system provides lawyers with a simple way to deliver messages and attachments with tracking and encryption. Lawyers who have professional biography listings in the Martindale-Hubbell Legal Network will be able to obtain basic email accounts through its portal site developed for consumers and small businesses, www.lawyers.com. Users wishing to utilize security and tracking options have the opportunity to upgrade to those features.

"Due to the nature of their work, lawyers require confidentiality and privacy when working with clients. Martindale-Hubbell has more than 1 million lawyer and law firm listings in its international database, so it was important for us to have a scalable email system. Ziplip's mail platform offers important features such as receipt confirmation, audit trails, document shredding, wireless access, and message expiration that go well beyond the basic email functions of competing solutions," said Greg Michaels, IT Manager of New Providence, N.J.-based Martindale-Hubbell.

"We are extremely proud to work with a company with the name and international recognition of Martindale-Hubbell. Lawyers have absolute necessity for security, especially in this Internet age where email precedes most forms of communication. ZipLip's Mail was built from the ground-up with security in mind, ensuring complete end-to-end security without the complexities of downloads or installed software. Through lawyers.com and an affiliated site, attymail.com, legal professionals can get up and running in minutes," said Kon Leong, President and CEO of ZipLip, Inc.
