If New Year is the time to get reflective, it’s also the time for Legal Week to think about our website, legalweek.com, which was comprehensively overhauled this time last year. I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that it was well received, doubling web traffic over the year and generating over 3,000 posts from readers along the way.

It’s also fair to say that the move to drastically remodel the site around interactivity and community proved successful. Certainly, as a business journalist who has spent most of his career talking to senior (sometimes self-involved) decision-makers, it’s been an eye-opener to read the comments posted by readers working at the coal-face.
