Law360 expands coverage into new areas

Law360.com, a news site that covers business law and high-level litigation, has expanded its coverage into new areas.

The new sections include mergers and acquisitions, private equity, real estate and project finance. M&A is an expansion of the corporate finance area, while private equity and real estate will launch in October. The project finance section will launch in November.

The new sections are available to Law360 subscribers, who consist of each of the top 100 law firms, hundreds of U.S. and international corporations, and major federal and state agencies.

“This is the next step in the continuing expansion of Law360, providing business attorneys across multiple specialties the news and analysis they need to keep abreast of major issues and cases,” Magnus Hoglund, co-founder of Law360, in a statement.

The expansion comes on the heels of Law360’s launch of Law360 Data, a platform that provides real-time updates on case activity for nearly every federal district court in the U.S.
