WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

FORECASTING LEGAL’S FUTURE – The legal industry has undergone several years’ worth of transformation over the course of the last six-plus months—so it’s clear we’re going to need more than a week to cover it all. Our Legalweek New York event is expanding in 2021 to include a yearlong slate of programming we’re calling LegalYear (click here to register). Throughout 2021, we’ll be bringing our readers a series of briefings, roundtable discussions, days of programming and other methods designed to allow segments of the industry to navigate this unprecedented time together, culminating in an in-person Legalweek New York event in February 2022. In conjunction with that announcement, today marks the launch of ALM Global Newsroom’s Law.com Barometer, a specialized hub and weekly newsletter tracking the rapidly evolving legal marketplace at a time of tremendous upheaval and change. The Barometer will gauge how various pressures are shaping the legal industry’s present, thus allowing us to forecast the industry’s future.
