By Feit Consulting | Feit Consulting
Law360 has become the most-placed product in US law firms and has quickly become every attorney’s go-to for daily news insights. So, we wanted to try to understand why.
Law360 is the go-to destination for legal news and analysis. Founded 18 years ago, Law360 has now saturated the market, becoming the industry’s most-used legal news source.
In our most recent Consumer Insights survey, we asked law firm research professionals who read Law360 to share their thoughts on the product and its competitors. We wanted to better understand the legal news market and if there are any vendors that are challenging Law360’s dominance in key content/coverage areas. Based on our findings, without a more viable competitor, Law360 will continue to dominate the legal news market indefinitely.
