So it isn’t too much of a surprise when that partnership extends beyond a single blog. In fact, a vast majority of the time, it does. And the end result is weeks… Continue Reading

Different worlds: LXBN firms from Seattle and Washington, DC launch blogs that are very Seattle and very DC
Out in Seattle, we pride ourselves on being a bit removed from the day-to-day bustle, filling our weekends out on the many nearby bodies of water—sometimes even commuting across them. In Washington, DC, I assume individuals and companies pride themselves on being “insiders” actively involved in our country’s inner-workings. This week on LXBN, we have… Continue Reading

At Lexblog, we pride ourselves on the fact that we’ve been around since legal blogging’s infancy.

SEC’s guidance on social media and the new NLRB appointees are trending on LXBN this week
Social media in a corporate setting, and the National Labor Relations Board—yep, those are both right in the LexBlog Network’s wheelhouse.
