Heather Nevitt has been promoted to Executive Editor of ALM’s Corporate Counsel and Inside Counsel publications in addition to her role as Editor in Chief of Texas Lawyer. In her new role, Nevitt will be reporting, editing, bringing video and podcasts to the various publications sites, building communities and developing new event ideas to engage readers and sponsors.
“Heather has demonstrated the ability to build a strong digital presence with the Texas Lawyer while also innovating on print. Her focus on the inhouse market has come to life through the work she has done on the inhouse section of the Texas Lawyer and through the many events she has successfully brought to market,” said Molly Miller, Chief Content Officer at ALM. “We are thrilled to have her role at ALM expand as the Executive Editor of Corporate Counsel and Inside Counsel.”
After practicing law for several years, Nevitt joined ALM in 2005 as Acquisitions Book Editor for Texas Lawyer where in two years she grew the book business three-fold. In 2010, she took on the role of Regional Book Editor for the southern region that included Texas, Georgia and Florida book acquisitions. In 2013, she became the Editor in Chief of Texas Lawyer and took on the challenge of transitioning the traditionally print-focused publication to think digital first. In April 2015, she oversaw the conversion of Texas Lawyer from a weekly newspaper to a daily digital publication and monthly magazine. Heather and her team have won several Jesse H. Neal awards for best single issue and best theme issue of a paper or magazine. Before joining ALM, Nevitt practiced law and earned her juris doctorate from Michigan State University College of Law in East Lansing, Michigan.
“I am very blessed to work with such an amazing group of hard-working individuals here at ALM,” said Heather Nevitt, Executive Editor of Corporate Counsel, Inside Counsel and Editor in Chief of Texas Lawyer. “I am excited about the opportunity to continue to grow these brands and find innovative ways to deliver daily coverage and insights to the long-time as well as and new in-house reader.”
