Press Room

New York, NY – November 9, 2020 – ALM, publisher of Law.com and The American Lawyer, today announces the launch of Law.com Radar—a fast-paced news source that empowers legal professionals to quickly keep up with new legal matters and practice area developments. By using Law.com Radar to follow relevant topics, lawyers can be first to know and first to act on critical information.

The new website and mobile experience bring the cutting edge technology and data processing of Legal Radar (launched in February 2020) under the Law.com umbrella and deepens its connection to ALM’s award winning newsroom.

With the launch of Law.com Radar, subscribers can now access exclusive updates on corporate transactions as part of a personalized Radar news feed. This expansion allows subscribers to track and get alerts on 33 industries, 20 practice areas and globe-spanning regions as well as thousands of companies and law firms.

“Radar builds on ALM and Law.com’s long tradition as the premier resource for legal professionals seeking deep insights and the necessary intelligence to compete in today’s legal market,” said Richard Caruso, Vice President and General Manager, Global Legal News. “With Radar’s customizable news feed and alerts, subscribers are first to know what is driving litigation and deals in the sectors where their clients operate and compete.”  

Law.com Radar’s corporate deal content includes the latest mergers and acquisitions, venture financings, private equity deals, securities offerings, real estate transactions and more. Designed to help lawyers follow the deals that are most relevant to their practices and clients, each Radar blip delivers key facts, highlights the legal advisers, and links to related resources.

Successful lawyers know that they need to stay ahead of industry trends. Law.com Radar’s expansion to corporate practices—combined with its extensive federal litigation coverage—provides the full scope of information that is vital to attorneys, whether they are working in law firms or in-house legal departments. 

“Our mission with Law.com Radar is to get actionable information to legal practitioners as fast as possible, so they can take the next step—whether it’s making a call to a client or flagging an emerging risk area,” notes Vanessa Blum, Executive Editor of Law.com Radar. “We know that lawyers need ongoing awareness of what’s happening in key client sectors and that’s why we’re excited to expand Law.com Radar to cover corporate transactions.”

Law.com subscribers will be provided access to Law.com Radar’s premium content and features at no additional charge. A free version of Law.com Radar, with limited features, is also available.
