The last few months have been something of a learning experience for me. Having spent a fair few years reporting mainly on the business of law, the launch of Legal Week Law, our new online database of briefings and reports, has given me a chance to look more closely at the practice part of the equation.
In terms of reader response so far, the launch has exceeded our expectations with the site already having well over 3,000 registered users, a figure projected to reach nearly 5,000 by the third month of launch. The number of documents downloaded has also risen sharply, up from 500 in the first week to a current average of well over 2,500 a week, a figure we expect to keep growing. At present, we’re adding about 50 new briefings a week.
