How to Harness The Power of the ALM Law Portal

Briefings, Law Firms, Law Marketing, Power Briefs /

evolved Law.com from a news site into a unified, mobile‑first legal intelligence portal that connects breaking news, analytics and workflow tools across six core content pillars: Business of Law, Practice of Law, Corporate Legal, Legal Technology, U.S. News and World News.

Behind the front end sits ALM’s wider legal media network (including leading U.S. and global titles) and data products, giving lawyers access to a single environment where media, data and marketing inventory intersect.​

At a practical level, Law.com now acts as the entry point to ALM’s broader stack: Law.com Compass (firm and market analytics), Law.com Radar (real‑time case and deal tracking) and client‑facing interfaces like Lawyerpages, the AI‑powered consumer directory.

For law firms, that makes Law.com less a “website to read” and more an infrastructure decision about where you get your data, where you advertise, and where prospective clients and GCs discover your lawyers. And it can be an extremely effective law marketing tool.​
