LAW FIRM PUBLIC RELATIONS

Be Seen. Be Trusted. Be Chosen.

In the legal industry, reputation is everything — and Reputation Ink knows how to build it. We specialize in public relations for law firms, helping attorneys and firms stand out in a crowded, credibility-driven marketplace.

Since our founding, we’ve worked with firms of all sizes and specialties — from elite litigation boutiques and white-collar defense firms to intellectual property specialists and national full-service firms. Our legal PR team, composed of former journalists and seasoned public relations professionals, knows how to translate complex legal topics into compelling stories that resonate with media, clients, and prospects.

OUR COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL PR SERVICES

We offer a full suite of public relations tailored to the unique needs of law firms, including:

Proactive media relations

Crafting and pitching newsworthy stories, thought leadership, and expert commentary to industry trades and top-tier publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Reuters, Law360, The American Lawyer, and the National Law Journal.

Bylined articles and op-eds

Ghostwriting and placing insightful articles that position your attorneys as go-to authorities.

Litigation publicity

Rapidly promoting major court verdicts, settlements, and opinions before they become yesterday’s news — helping you capitalize on narrow media windows.

Source development and reporter briefings

Building relationships with key journalists before they’re needed, ensuring you’re the first call when a story breaks.

Awards and rankings strategy

Identifying and pursuing the legal industry awards that matter, including Chambers and Partners, Best Lawyers, Law360’s recognitions, and The National Law Journal rankings.

Speaking engagements

Securing high-profile speaking slots at leading conferences and industry events.

Crisis communications

Providing rapid, strategic messaging and media guidance during sensitive or high-stakes matters.

Internal and external communications

Supporting firm announcements such as new hires, lateral moves, office openings, bonuses, or other news.

Media training

Preparing your attorneys to confidently engage with reporters and deliver compelling, on-message interviews.

Why Media Coverage Matters for Law Firms

Becoming a trusted media source can provide nearly the same power as a personal referral — the gold standard in legal marketing — and when built over time through repeated media appearances, it can even surpass it. But becoming a go-to source doesn’t happen by accident. We help firms proactively:

  • Track and capitalize on breaking news, major court decisions, regulatory shifts, and emerging trends.
  • Prepare and circulate source guides that highlight attorney expertise.
  • Identify and pitch timely commentary opportunities (including “newsjacking” fast-moving events).
  • Build long-term, trust-based relationships with reporters by consistently offering useful, credible insights.

We know that timing is critical. Reporters are working under tight deadlines, and firms that can provide fast, helpful commentary are the ones that stay top of mind.

Our Deep Industry Knowledge and Media Relationships

Reputation Ink has invested years into cultivating relationships with the reporters, editors, and producers who cover the legal industry. We understand what journalists need, how they work, and how to pitch stories that land.

Whether we’re working on litigation publicity, regulatory investigations, mergers and acquisitions, or high-profile legal controversies, we know how to position your firm for maximum media impact.

A Proven Track Record

Our work has earned national recognition, including multiple Legal Marketing Association Your Honor Awards for media relations, as well as honors from Bulldog PR, PR Daily, the Communicator Awards, and many others.

Our founder, Michelle Calcote King, has been named to the Lawdragon 100 Global Leaders in Legal Strategy & Consulting guide in 2023, 2024, and 2025, underscoring our reputation as one of the top legal PR agencies in the industry.
