What ALM Reporters and Editors Expect from Law Firms and PR Pros In 2021: Part II
At the end of 2020, I had the opportunity to interview seven members of the ALM Media editorial staff. This is Part II of a series of questions with answers provided by:
|- Hank Grezlak, Editor-in-Chief, Regional Brands & Legal Themes
- Victoria Hudgins, Reporter, Legaltech News
- Lizzy McLellan, Senior Editor, Business of Law, ALM
- Molly Miller, Chief Content Officer, ALM
- Max Mitchell, Bureau Chief, The Legal Intelligencer
- Gina Passarella, Editor-in-Chief, Global Legal
- Angela E. Turturro, Esq., Special Sections Editor, New York Law Journal
Here is what they had to say about what they want and expect from law firms and PR pros in 2021. (See Part I in the February 2021 issue.)
What are your expectations as they relate to diversity, equity and inclusion?
Gina: We started a new series called Diversity in the Raw that is powerful. It includes real, honest and raw accounts of individuals' experiences with race in the profession. It's both from outside of ALM and from members of ALM. Zack Needles started a regular Law.com round table series on DE&I, discussing a range of issues. It will be a big theme through our Barometer coverage, a new weekly newsletter tied to several themes around Legalweek NY, including diversity. We have started an internal newsroom diversity committee that is generating a ton of ideas on our diversity initiatives at ALM, for our external coverage, and for source development. ALM Intelligence, headed by Patrick Fuller, is looking closely at diversity. I suspect we will be more closely tracking metrics around gender and race. We also will be tracking the in-house role in this space.

COVID-19 and Lease Negotiations: Early Termination Provisions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, some tenants were able to negotiate termination agreements with their landlords. But even though a landlord may agree to terminate a lease to regain control of a defaulting tenant's space without costly and lengthy litigation, typically a defaulting tenant that otherwise has no contractual right to terminate its lease will be in a much weaker bargaining position with respect to the conditions for termination.
Pleading Importation: ITC Decisions Highlight Need for Adequate Evidentiary Support
The International Trade Commission is empowered to block the importation into the United States of products that infringe U.S. intellectual property rights, In the past, the ITC generally instituted investigations without questioning the importation allegations in the complaint, however in several recent cases, the ITC declined to institute an investigation as to certain proposed respondents due to inadequate pleading of importation.
