HB Litigation Conferences

What HB Litigation Conferences does

HB Litigation Conferences LLC is a privately held, founder-led legal content and education company founded in 2008 by Tom Hagy, a four-decade veteran of legal publishing (former Editor & Publisher of Mealey's Litigation Reports and VP at LexisNexis). The company operates a multi-product content platform serving attorneys, boutique law firms, and corporate counsel, built around a litigation news and analysis website with embedded webinars, a peer-reviewed journal, a podcast, and a white-label content creation service.

The platform's product surface spans Critical Legal Content (white-label blogs, articles, papers, webinars, and podcasts produced for boutique firms lacking in-house marketing resources), the Emerging Litigation Podcast hosted by Tom Hagy, CLE OnDemand continuing legal education webinars, and the Emerging Litigation Journal published in collaboration with vLex Fastcase and Law Street Media. HB webinars are distributed for CLE credit through the CeriFi LegalEdge marketplace. The underlying technology is a content management and digital publishing platform; there is no proprietary AI/ML infrastructure.

Revenue is generated through three streams: pay-as-you-go and subscription CLE webinar sales, professional services fees for white-label content creation, and subscription/audience monetization for the podcast and journal. Distribution occurs via owned web properties, podcast platforms, partner legal research platforms (vLex Fastcase, Law Street Media), and the CeriFi LegalEdge CLE marketplace. The company is headquartered in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania, operates with 51-100 employees, and has raised no institutional funding.
