1. Match breaking coverage to the work your Berlin firm accepts
Bosseo describes Legal News as monitoring more than 2,800 news sources, re-scanning every 15 minutes, and matching stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. The public product page gives examples such as crashes, verdicts, new laws, recalls, appellate decisions and enforcement actions. Those examples do not establish that a particular story will appear for a Berlin firm or that people will contact the firm. Your first review should identify which legal developments are genuinely within your competence and geographic service area. Berlin is recorded in Coos County, so the firm should decide whether its intended coverage is Berlin alone, Coos County, broader New Hampshire, or another precisely defined area. Do not treat the city’s population estimate as evidence that any topic has sufficient audience.
Recommended approach
Create a written coverage boundary before assessing fit. Include practice areas, accepted matter types, geographic limits, excluded subjects and the person authorized to approve commentary. Ask Bosseo how those boundaries would be reflected in story selection and what control the firm has when a story is adjacent to, rather than directly within, its practice.
