Established more than 30 years ago by Jamie Moss, a lawyer and journalist, and staffed by veteran PR advisors with backgrounds in law, journalism and communications, newsPRos’ team advises clients on best practices for communicating business-critical announcements, crisis management, media training and day-to-day activities focused on boosting reputations and profile-raising.I have been a communications manager, brand and content senior content supervisor, and marketing content supervisor with multiple AmLaw 100 law firms. The combination of my legal background and creative writing skill is of unquestionable benefit to newsPRos clients. My goal is to advance the brands associated with the attorneys, practices and industry groups, and the firms I assist and guide across industries.I believe I have a strong ability to connect with anyone and everyone I meet - making a point to get to know who they are and what matters to them, in order to elevate their needs and goals and provide top-notch guidance and assistance.
