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.'"
