1. Match the news desk to the firm’s actual practice
Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its NewsFeed monitors more than 2,800 local and national legal-news sources, re-scans every 15 minutes, and matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. It describes examples including new laws, rule changes, appellate decisions, enforcement actions, recalls and incidents that create legal questions. Those capabilities make practice-area selection the first Pembroke decision. A firm serving Pembroke may not want every New Hampshire story. A criminal-defense practice, injury practice and estate practice would review different story categories. The Census record places Pembroke in Merrimack County, but that relationship does not establish that a story will produce a client or that a county-wide audience is appropriate.
Recommended approach
List the practice areas the firm is prepared to discuss, then identify stories that are outside its scope. Ask Bosseo how the firm’s New Hampshire coverage would be filtered and how a Pembroke or Merrimack County reference would be used without implying a broader service area than the firm actually serves.
