How Casetext Supercharges your Content
Legal marketers and savvy attorneys know how valuable client alerts, blogs posts, and newsletters are to a law firm’s marketing efforts. Large firms are already sold on this; over 80% of AmLaw 200 firms publish legal commentary and analysis to grow their audience and expand their reach, building the reputations of their attorneys and practice groups in the process. This content drives more online traffic to law firms and increases brand recognition, leading to attorney referrals, media inquiries, and clients.
Because of this, most firms struggle to make sure their attorneys’ case alerts, newsletters, and blog posts stay relevant for as long as possible. A post that gets many views the week it’s published may not ever be read again, not because the content is outdated, but because it’s buried under hundreds of other pieces of new content vying for a reader's attention every day.
Here’s Where Casetext Comes In!
Casetext helps firms reach a much wider audience by re-publishing their content and linking these original articles, commentary, case summaries, and other legal analysis directly to the caselaw and statutes those articles discuss. Casetext has over 10 million searchable cases and statutes. Casetext’s legal research and publishing platform is used by millions of lawyers, researchers, law students, and legal scholars every year, precisely because of how we’ve combined the text of the law with insights and content from the legal community. We’re helping those attorneys, including in-house counsel from hundreds of different companies, find the content they need to better understand a case exactly at the moment they need it most.
For you, this means a built-in, super-targeted audience of readers (and potential clients) who will naturally engage with your content as part of their research process. Thousands of lawyers and law firms, including a majority of the AmLaw 200, have partnered with Casetext to connect their content and valuable insights to an audience of millions who are using Casetext to research and reference the law every year.

Our team of attorneys and engineers will handle the entire process, including all of the formatting to ensure that the re-published commentary meets your firm’s high standards.
