There’s more on the challenges facing Martindale-Hubbell in a New York Lawyer article entitled Law Firms Scaling Back on Traditional Directory Listings (sign-in required).
And thank you to Barry Solomon, VP Client Development at LexisNexis for his great comment on “Can Martindale-Hubbell Fight Back?“ According to his comment, the answer appears to be “Yes, they can.” It looks like M-H is doing some interesting things.
While the books are dead, the web-based M-H is still a viable and valuable resource. Some large firms may feel that they don’t need to be listed, but from a KM / practice support perspective, it is valuable to have one place to go to find most, if not all, of the information you need about law firms and corporate legal departments. Those who decide to cut ties certainly won’t perish, but they may face an out-of-sight-out-of-mind challenge in some circumstances.
