A Q&A Featuring Adrian Lurssen

Reader data, when harnessed properly, has the power to open law firms up to new opportunities and spur innovation for long-established clients. Strategies+ recently talked with Adrian Lurssen — vice president and co-founder of JD Supra, a content distribution and data platform — about how he sees law firms use their reader data to support marketing and business development (BD). Here are his insights, including a few real-life examples and advice for the best ways to use such data.

From the LMA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee

As we close out celebrating Women's History Month, we reflect on those who came before us and, in cases like Tara Marshall’s, have inspired us to become who we are today.

Marshall is a marketing manager at H5, a legal technology company that partners with law firms to bring AI-driven solutions to litigation and regulatory challenges. A resident of Montgomery County Maryland, she is also the 2021 director of diversity, advocacy and community engagement on the LMA Mid-Atlantic Regional Governing Board.

Here, Marshall shares a story of how her grandmother’s resilience, hard work and commitment impacted so many lives, including her own. She also reflects on what it means to be a Black woman in 2021 and gives three leadership lessons she’s learned throughout her career.
