We are excited to announce that Law.com has gone global with the launch today of Law.com International, a new website that allows readers to understand the key happenings in the legal industry around the world, while also drilling down into the regions most important to them.
Under our new International offering, we will bring you the same great content you have come to expect from our global newsroom out of London and Hong Kong with additional content from reporters on the ground throughout six core regions: the UK, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East/Africa and North America. The content will focus on in-house legal departments, the business of law, regulatory climates, legal technology, international arbitration and more.
Law firms and corporations doing business internationally will now be able to access news, analysis and data about key happenings in the global legal markets from reporters on the ground in those locations. This coverage allows readers to know what it is like to do business in key regions and how the news connects across global markets.
"Law.com has long delivered news, data and analysis that leverages the deep connections its reporters have with members of the communities they cover," said Gina Passarella, editor-in-chief of ALM's global legal brands. "Law.com International leverages reporters embedded in key regions around the world, all working together to surface and explain the market challenges and opportunities facing law firms and corporations with a global reach."
Our international editors based in London, Hong Kong and New York will work closely with reporters in those regions as well as Sydney, Paris, Brussels, Mexico City, Germany, Canada and elsewhere as the team actively looks to expand. In addition to the news, analysis, market reports and data projects such as the Global 200, our editors crystallize global events in our weekly briefings, The Global Lawyer and The Asia Legal Briefing.
To hear more from our senior international editors about their predictions for the global legal industry in 2020, sign up for our free webinar this Thursday, January 30.
