Law Firm Newswire Expands Press Release Distribution Plan Giving Lawyers Access to The Street and MSN for Less

San Francisco, California – Law Firm Newswire, the press release distribution service catering to law firms, announced today a significant expansion to their Primetime distribution plan. The press release distribution company will now incorporate The Street, and MSN to their Primetime distribution level. This move will offer law firms a more comprehensive network, reaching over 450 websites and other major broadcasting channels at a rate that competes with mainstream press release wires.

Previously, The Street and MSN were only available to law firms that opted for the top-tier LFN Spotlight network. However, this recent shift translates into a saving of $290/release for law firms making the Primetime plan a great way for lawyers to Make the News®.

The Primetime distribution level, with its reach of over 450 sites and networks, already included prominent news outlets such as Google News, Apple News, AP News, Bigger Law Firm Magazine, Digital Journal, and Benzinga, as well as local ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox affiliates.

In addition to the expansion of the Primetime distribution level, Law Firm Newswire also announced a new addition to its top-level Spotlight distribution plan. Law firms sending news under the LFN Spotlight level will now have their announcement published

International firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner announces second round of layoffs in under a year

Reuters reported that the legal industry, particularly in the US, has seen a series of layoffs among large firms over the past year, attributed mainly to a softening demand for legal services, especially within transactional practices. Although the pace of publicly confirmed layoffs seemed to have slowed in recent months, the sector remains in a state of flux, as evidenced by the nearly 10 percent workforce reduction at Silicon Valley-based Fenwick & West last month, a move reported by various media outlets.

Despite these industry adjustments, the broader US legal services sector appears resilient, adding 2,700 jobs in February and approaching its all-time employment high from December, per the latest US Labor Department data. This data encompasses various legal workers employed across law firms, companies, and other organizations.

This series of layoffs at BCLP follows the dismissal of 47 business services professionals globally last May. The previous round of layoffs was said to mainly affect secretarial and administrative positions in the US, attributed to “excess capacity following a comprehensive review of support ratios.”

City Law Society training chief urges law firms to support trainees struggling with SQE

Clifford Chance revoked TC offers while Macfarlanes has ‘pass first time’ policy


In the same week that Clifford Chance revoked training contract offers of students who didn’t pass the SQE at the first attempt, the chair of the City of London Law Society’s training committee has repeated his call for law firms to adopt a more supportive approach towards aspiring lawyers sitting the “extremely challenging” exam.

“I’d urge all law firms to engage with their future talent who need to take their first attempt at SQE1.” Patrick McCann told Legal Cheek. “SQE1 is an extremely challenging assessment, testing against NQ knowledge criteria (with most sponsored students undergoing the assessment more than two years before solicitor qualification), with a pass rate only just above 50%, very significantly below the pass rates for LPC, which SQE replaces.”

Earlier this week Legal Cheek exclusively revealed that Clifford Chance terminated the training contract offering of around four future trainees who recently failed to pass SQE1 on the first attempt. Macfarlanes also has a similar ‘must pass first time’ rule, but it is understood that it is yet to make any final decisions regarding the future of trainees who failed.
