The Dallas Morning News is partnering with The Texas Lawbook on business law coverage

The Dallas Morning News is partnering with The Texas Lawbook to bring readers in-depth coverage of business law in the state of Texas.

The Lawbook is a Dallas-based online publication that covers business law and lawyers in Texas. It was founded in 2011 by Mark Curriden, a lawyer and former legal affairs reporter for The News, and has grown into one of the largest legal publications in Texas.

“This partnership with The Dallas Morning News allows us to showcase our substantive and in-depth coverage of business law to a much larger statewide audience,” Curriden said in a statement. “We look forward to working side by side with the TDMN’s award-winning journalists.”

The Lawbook announced Jeff Schnick as its new editor in July. Schnick is a former editor-in-chief at the Dallas Business Journal and a former assistant business editor at The News.

“This collaboration allows us to bring our in-depth corporate legal, deal and trial coverage to a wider, business-savvy audience,” said Schnick. ”The Morning News has a storied history of impactful business news coverage and countless reporters and editors — from Cheryl Hall and Bob Miller to Steve Brown, Terry Maxon and so many more — who have documented the state’s rise to a global economic powerhouse.”

The News will publish select articles in its Business section online and in print beginning this month.

The Lawbook has a team of nine reporters and editors that serve more than 16,000 subscribers. It had a shared content agreement with The News when it launched in 2011 that continued until 2016. The Lawbook previously had editorial partnerships with the Houston Chronicle and the Dallas Business Journal.

The Lawbook’s coverage features civil litigation and trials, corporate mergers and acquisitions. It also covers corporate compliance matters including labor, employment, cybersecurity and intellectual property.
