Modern Counsel’s readers are your peers

Modern Counsel’s readers are your peers.

They come from a range of industries and businesses of various sizes. They are subject-matter experts and generalists who, collectively, offer a holistic perspective on the demands, daily life, and dexterity of corporate law.

Most of our readers are general counsel, but they are joined by their deputy, associate, and assistant general counsel colleagues, as well as corporate counsel, chief legal officers, and outside counsel among others. This diversity helps us explore the complexity of the corporate legal function on the ground and at the macro level.

Thirty percent of the lawyers featured in Modern Counsel come from Fortune 500 or Global 500 companies.

PRINT ADVERTISEMENT REQUIREMENTS

The only print advertisement file format supported by Modern Counsel is a press ready .pdf designed in a vector-based program and preferably exported as PDF/X-1a:2001. We cannot accept any native application files such as InDesign (.indd) or Illustrator (.ai). Do not use pantone colors. Bleed ads should include crop marks.

COLOR GUIDANCE

If your print advertisement requires a critical color match, we request a publication grade stock proof (i.e. Kodak Approval, CREO Spectrum, etc.) be mailed in addition to the press ready .pdf submission. Materials should comply with SWOP standards.

PRODUCTION CONTACT/MATERIALS

All file submissions, questions regarding materials and extensions, and related matters should be directed to your Client Services contact. Miscellaneous inquires may be emailed to clientservices@guerreromedia.com.

ADVERTISEMENT DESIGN TIPS

Below are four examples of effective print ads. Here’s what you can do to make sure that yours, too, gets the attention it deserves from readers:
• Keep your message short. Less text is more! Write short, compelling copy with a clear call to action.
• Use logos in a vector format (.eps .ai ).  This will ensure logos print crisp and clean.
• Stick to a simple color palette. One or two spot colors command more attention than the entire spectrum.
• Use high-quality photography. If you choose to use imagery, make sure it is at least 300 dpi. But remember:
• Images are NOT required for an effective ad. Less photography is more, too! A single photo is more impactful than several.
