Law Firm Media Professionals (LFMP) is a national association of
in-house and outside media and marketing professionals dedicated to
improving how they deliver public relations and communications
services to the outstanding law firms they serve.
LFMP was formed in New York City in 2002 by two in-house P.R. pros,
Joshua M. Peck and Dara McQuillan, who observed that there was no
steady place to meet with other specialists in legal media relations
and discuss the issues and challenges unique to this area of legal
marketing. The primary objective of the group is to provide members
with a forum to exchange ideas, experiences and information on a
wide variety of communications and media issues, sometimes with
members of the press themselves. The group shares its insights with
one another in relatively informal, but fully interactive, monthly
meetings which are consistently excellent educational and networking
opportunities. The session locations vary and are hosted by the
offices of the members' firms.
Since 2002, other cities have followed the concept and have launched
to hold periodic or occasional meetings. The most recent additions,
Minneapolis and Los Angeles, join Washington, Boston, San Francisco,
Houston, and Chicago (where the group is called Legal PR Chicago). A
London chapter is under discussion. Each group operates
independently under the guidance of local leadership, though
inquiries about any of these chapters or potential new ones will be
forwarded from the Contact email on this website.
Guest speakers to the group include lawyers, media specialists, and
journalists from some of the most prestigious news affiliates in the
world including the Wall Street Journal, Associated Press,
and Bloomberg News.
 "We
started LFMP in 2002 with just the idea that law firm media
personnel would benefit greatly from getting to know one another,
sharing their experiences, and understanding that 'they are not
alone.'"

What:
How to get the Most
out of your P.R. Firm
When:
Wednesday, May 22, 2012 from 7-9 p.m.
Where:
: Chadbourne & Parke, 30 Rockefeller Center
We hear a lot of
complaints from in house people about their relationships with
outside PR agencies and the results and productivity they get
from outside firms. Assembled are three outside agency
heads--Jamie Diaferia of Infinite PR, Jamie L. Moss of NewsPros
and Allan Ripp of the Eponymous Ripp--who have mastered that
relationship and they are going to take your questions and
provide perspective from their cumulative years of experience
(we won't say how many decades THAT is!) as to how you can make
the In-House/outside agency relationship work for you and your
firm. Come prepared to unload all that pent up frustration and
they'll help you get to a better place with real tactics that
are proven to work. A vigorous Q and A will be part of the
event.

A note
from Bloomberg columnist Elizabeth Amon: |
|
|
|
|
I'm writing to
let you know that in a couple of weeks Bloomberg News will
be creating a law firms column. It will be similar to and
replace the litigation column that I've been writing for the
last few years, with several short items a day.
Please send any
press releases about law firm news and lawyers across
practices such as moves, office openings, significant court
victories, etc. to me. Email is the best way to reach me.
I'm finding that attachments are sometimes more helpful than
simply pasting in the body of the email.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Amon
