Legal Times to Merge with National Law Journal; Layoffs Expected

National Law JournalLegal Times is merging with one of its sibling publications, The National Law Journal.

The combined publication will focus on national legal news, with a special emphasis on Washington, DC, and will be called The National Law Journal. It will publish continuously on the Web and weekly in print, with the first combined print edition expected in May.

A redesign of its Web site is planned in the next several months.

Incisive Media, which owns the two newspapers, made the announcement in a news release this morning after notifying the staffs at both publications. Stephen Lincoln, publisher of The National Law Journal, will continue in that role. David Brown, publisher and editor in chief of Legal Times, will become the editor of the combined publication.

Subscribers to Legal Times will automatically begin receiving the combined publication. They will also receive access to The National Law Journal’s online features and surveys, including the annual NLJ 250 rankings.

The merger is expected to result eventually in a smaller staff. No layoffs were announced today.
