Corporate blogging: 'Lawdable' commendable for lawyers

'Want to read about e-Discovery, as it's viewed from inside HCA? That's one of the latest offerings on Counsel on Call's new blog, Lawdable.com. Counsel on Call is the Brentwood firm that helps law firms and corporate law departments manage workload, by providing legal staff, as needed. CoC Founder and President Jane Allen (left) is naturally one of the blog's authors. We mention this here, because there is little doubt that a similar, best-practices-oriented blog -- MorePartnerIncome.com -- was a key factor in earning Juris Founder Tom Collins and his co-investors the premium they exacted from LexisNexis, upon the sale of the company 15 months ago. Free sharing of lessons-learned is often good business.
