Robert Ambrogi BlogAt LawSites blog, our mission is to provide trustworthy, independent journalism covering the legal technology industry. We report on the companies, people, and trends shaping the future of law, and we do so with a commitment to editorial integrity and transparency. Our dedication to this mission since our inception is a defining element of LawSites.
Our Editorial Independence
LawSites is an independent newsroom. Our editorial team operates with complete autonomy and makes all decisions about coverage, story angles, and publishing priorities without interference from advertisers, sponsors, or business partners.
- We do not accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage.
- We do not allow advertisers to preview, edit, or influence our reporting.
- We do not soften or temper our stories to retain or appease advertisers.
Our reputation is built on accurate, fair, and balanced reporting. We may write critically about companies with whom we have a business relationship if the facts demand it. We believe that serving our audience with honesty and clarity is more valuable than protecting relationships.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
We do partner with vendors and companies in the legal technology space through advertising and affiliate programs. These include:
- Display advertising across our website and newsletters.
- Advertisements on the LawNext podcast.
- Sponsored content (clearly labeled as such).
- Access to premium versions of our free basic services on tools such as LawNextPR, the LawNext Directory, or our How it Works product demos
- Affiliate links to vendor websites, products, or services.
When we include affiliate links in our content, it means we may earn a commission if a reader clicks through, makes a purchase, or signs up for a service. However, affiliate links are added at our discretion, and we only include them when they are relevant and helpful to the reader. These links never influence our editorial decisions, and are only added to content that would have been produced in the same way with or without an affiliate relationship.
Transparency and Trust
We understand that trust is earned. That’s why we are committed to:
- Clearly labeling sponsored content and advertising.
- Maintaining a clear separation between our editorial and business teams.
- Disclosing any potential conflicts of interest when they arise.
We believe in journalism that is honest, independent, and free from pay-to-play influence. We welcome engagement from vendors and sponsors, but our commitment to editorial integrity always comes first.
