What ALM Reporters and Editors Expect From Law Firms and PR Pros in 2021: Part I

Instead of sharing my insights, experience and opinions as a 20-year vet in legal public relations, I went directly to the source – the ALM Media editorial staff. Here is what they had to say about the impact of COVID-19 on the industry as a whole and what they want and expect from law firms and PR pros in 2021. Included are:

  • Hank Grezlak, Editor-in-Chief, Regional Brands & Legal Themes (The Legal Intelligencer, New Jersey Law Journal, New York Law Journal, Daily Business Review (FLA), Daily Report (GA), The Recorder (CA), Connecticut Law Tribune, Delaware Law Weekly, Delaware Business Court Insider)
  • Victoria Hudgins, Reporter, Legaltech News
  • Lizzy McLellan, Senior Editor, Business of Law
  • Molly Miller, Chief Content Officer
  • Max Mitchell, Bureau Chief, The Legal Intelligencer
  • Zack Needles, Editor-in-Chief, Law.com
  • Gina Passarella, Editor-in-Chief, Global Legal Brands (The American Lawyer, Corporate Counsel, The National Law Journal, Legal Week, China Law & Practice)
  • Angela E. Turturro, Esq., Special Sections Editor, New York Law Journal
