• The Legal Writers Bureau has just been launched by Good2BSocial. It is designed to help legal companies and law firms find experienced writers and editors. (Heads up, start ups!)

The bureau includes many of my friends from ALM, who have written for and edited publications in the legal industry, including The American Lawyer, The National Law Journal, The New York Law Journal, Corporate Counsel, Law Technology News, and Law.com, among others.

Two of my former bosses at ALM —Kevin Vermeulen (now Partner and Chief Operating Officer) and David L. Brown (now Chief Content Officer) are heading up the bureau.
