New blogs joining The LexBlog Network for 3/7-3/18

As we missed this post last week, we’re going to be going over all the new publications to join The LexBlog Network over the past two weeks. In the nine new additions, we have the debut of Please Advise, which is brought to you by LexBlog’s own Client Services team. Have an excellent weekend everyone.

• Authored by the LexBlog Client Services Team—Lyda Hawes, Neil O’Shaugnessy, Helen Pitlick and Angelo Carosio—Please Advise offers guidance on the things these people speak with lawyers and other professionals on everyday. This includes new blogging tools, strategies for writing better content, leveraging your blog to foster relationships and coming up with post ideas. If there’s a topic you’d like them to address, let them know, as I’m sure they’d be happy to oblige.
• The Bribery Library is published by five attorneys in McGuireWoods‘ London-based Anticorruption Group. The blog’s content revolves around the soon-to-be-enacted UK Bribery Act and its impact on international business. With the blog’s authors including a former in-house chief compliance officer and a number of former U.S. federal prosecutors, it should present quite an interesting perspective.
• The Clean Energy & Technology Law Blog from Lawson Lundell is the Canadian firm’s second publication on The LexBlog Network. Authored by members of the firm’s Climate Change and Clean Energy and Technology groups, the blog, in their own words, “follows new and interesting issues emerging in the Clean Energy and Technology sector as well as relevant developments in the applicable regulatory regimes and governing laws.”
• Dr. Cindy Pladziewicz brings quite the perspective to both The LexBlog Network and her work as a business and career development coach. The author of Professional Development Perspectives is both a former partner at an AmLaw 200 firm and a trained clinical psychologist, so she’s adept in combining career experiences with the ability to dig down to what truly motivates individuals. Very cool.
• Another firm getting their second publication going on The LexBlog Network, Frantz Ward debuts the Labor & Employment Law Navigator this week. With clients that range from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, authors Keith Ashmus and Rebecca Bennett are able to comment on developments in a way that’s insightful to almost any employer.
• The Securities Fraud Sentinel is authored by Dallas attorney Brady Sparks. Where many lawyers who practice in securities arbitration are brokers-turned-attorneys, Sparks is instead an experienced lawyer whose previous work includes successfully trying a securities case before the United States Supreme Court, amongst hundreds of other trials. Like with so many other authors on The LexBlog Network, it’s nice get a new perspective on a subject.
• Where many of the firms mentioned this week are really just getting rolling with their blogging efforts, which is great to see, the California Environmental Law Blog is the tenth publication on The LexBlog Network from the team at Stoel Rives. Topics covered on this blog will include water rights, high speed rail in California, agriculture, the wine industry, water quality, food processing and timber law.
• For the launch of Gateway FDA, I’ll let the publishers at HodgsonRuss take the reins on running you through what this publication offers: “analysis, commentary, and resources to help foreign pharmaceutical and medical device companies make sense of the ever-evolving FDA regulations and understand the complete range of U.S. legal issues that may complicate bringing a drug, medical device, or other FDA-regulated product or service to market in the United States.” Quite unique, and definitely a subject that should be interesting to track.
• And, to round things out, we have the launch of James Hasting‘s Trademark Law & Litigation Guide. Previously working both in the land of large law, and also as in-house counsel for a major retailer, he has a wealth of experience working with large and medium-sized retailers in proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, United States district courts, and ICANN internet domain name dispute resolution forums.
