Content may be king these days, but it’s not all regal, according to Olga Mack blogging on LinkedIn. Mack, head of legal at startup ClearSlide, says legal vendors are constantly sending her news alerts and updates. “Like most lawyers, I read virtually everything that somehow crosses my desk or any of my devices,” says Mack. The bad news? A lot of the content is of poor quality and not helpful, she says.
So what do in-house counsel say is useful when it comes to the literature? Mack says alerts or bulletins that contain specific action items they can start on immediately are helpful, as are summaries of changes in legislation or other newsworthy events written in plain English that can be understood by nonlawyers (and thus circulated around the office). Industry-specific and pragmatic advice is also on the “good list,” and so is predicting and analyzing the direction of future changes, says Mack.
