Martindale-Hubbell launches "Counsel to Counsel" magazine.

Martindale-Hubbell (Mew Providence, NJ), a unit of LexisNexis and Reed Elsevier, has begun the publication of Counsel to Counsel (CtoC) magazine with a September issue. It will be produced six times a year in association with M-H's Corporate Legal Times (CLT). The first issue appears as a supplement polybagged with CLT.

The first issue is being distributed to CLT's 60,000 corporate legal executives in the U.S. and Canada as well as through related M-H channels. The magazine was launched to supply "cutting-edge benchmarking information and timely insights from in-house counsel and their trusted advisors worldwide," M-H said. The title is based on M-H's "Counsel to Counsel" series of forums that focus on current issues and approaches for the efficient delivery of corporate legal services.

M-H vice president Timothy Corcoran said the magazine "will help in-house counsel stay abreast of trends in corporate legal management and stay in touch with what is on the minds of their peers around the world." The first issue included articles on: open communications and clear expectations; best practices regarding a corporate ethics program; a survey of European corporate buyers of legal services; legal developments in the life sciences area; building corporate finance skills; and, providing advice to senior management on corporate governance issues. Each issue will also include summaries of discussions from recent "CtoC" forums.
