ALM, a multimedia company that serves the legal and real estate industries, has launched a new service designed to help legal professionals access crucial news and information quickly and easily. Effective Friday, August 23, the New York-based company will offer digital memberships to streamline professionals’ access to ALM legal industry content, which includes news, commentaries, videos, analysis, podcasts, surveys, and more.
The concept is simple — readers sign up for a free membership, providing basic information (name/title/email/employer/zip code), and creating a password. Users can also sign on with LinkedIn credentials.
Once aboard, users can explore ALM’s smorgasbord of offerings and access five news stories for free every 30 days from all ALM legal publications — which include The National Law Journal, The American Lawyer, Corporate Counsel, and Law Technology News magazines, as well as regional newspapers (New York, San Francisco, Texas, Connecticut, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Florida, and Delaware).
Three ALM publications will remain free for unlimited reading online (Corporate Counsel, Law Technology News , and The Asian Lawyer). Digital members will also receive full complimentary access to ALM’s news alerts and newsletters. Other benefits also include discounts to other ALM products and services.
The new offering helps readers explore the full range of ALM news offerings — which can help lawyers and other legal professionals evaluate and subscribe to the publications that can help their practices, said Jeffrey Litvack, ALM’s chief digital officer. One advantage of the new program is that the “five articles within 30 days” policy includes access to all stories, including those previously only available to paid subscribers, he notes.
