How we report.
Counsel House publishes legal news for general counsel, in-house teams and law-firm leaders. This page explains how our articles are made, so you can judge them.
How articles are produced
News articles bylined “Counsel House Newsroom” are researched and drafted with the help of AI (Anthropic’s Claude). For each story, the newsroom reads the primary sources (court filings, agency releases, company announcements) and established news reporting, and writes an original article that names the people, companies, courts and figures involved and explains what the development means for in-house counsel.
We cover stories from the last seven days that matter to in-house legal teams: enforcement and regulation, significant litigation involving large companies, privacy and compliance, AI and legal technology, senior in-house legal moves, and law firm business. We don’t cover local disputes, individual criminal cases or market moves.
How articles are checked
Before publication, every article is checked by a separate review that re-opens the cited sources and verifies names, titles, figures, dates, quotes and how allegations are described. Claims that can’t be verified are removed. Allegations are reported as allegations, not as fact. Articles that still raise concerns after that review are held for review by our editor, Daniel Abramoff, before they can be published.
Sources
Every article ends with its sources. “Primary source” marks an official record or the organization’s own announcement; “press release” marks a wire release. We link to the original publisher wherever we can.
Podcast articles
Articles in “From the Podcast” are based on conversations recorded for the Counsel House Podcast. The full episode is linked from each one.
Sponsored content
Partner articles are paid for by the organization named at the top of the article and labeled “Sponsored.” They appear only in the Partner Insights section and a labeled sponsored slot, never as news, in our newsletter’s news coverage or in our news feed. Sponsors don’t influence our news coverage.
Our editor’s other businesses
Counsel House editor Daniel Abramoff also founded Andrel, an invite-only professional network, and Vantage, a legal business development firm. Ads for Andrel on this site are labeled as coming from the founder. Neither company receives news coverage from Counsel House.
