PR - Tier Publishing Buys The Forwarders List of Attorneys

Commonwealth Business Media, Inc., a division of United Business Media plc, announced last week the sale of The Forwarders List of Attorneys to Tier Publishing, LLC, effective October 25, 2007.

The Forwarders List of Attorneys provides demographic data on leading collection attorneys throughout the United States and around the world. The list is used by lawyers, collection agencies, debt buyers, credit insurance companies and subrogation professionals to retain out-of-town collection firms. The Forwarders List provides services that range from selecting legal counsel to obtaining status reports. The directory is printed annually and is also available on the web at www.forwarderslist.com.

Commonwealth CEO Alan Glass stated, "As we continue to build our international trade and transport portfolio, we felt that the time was right to find a new home for The Forwarders List.  The new publisher, Gary Tier, has the expertise, knowledge and know-how to give this important database a very bright future. For 85 years and since 1992 as a part of Commonwealth Business Media, The Forwarders List has been a reliable resource for attorneys in the credit and collection market — building long-term relationships that I know will continue under Gary’s leadership."

Tier said, “My commitment to the law list business and the collections industry as a whole is the driving force behind the acquisition. I’m fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and that Alan and Commonwealth helped to make this sale possible. Our focus is to continue to provide quality legal referrals and our goal is simple — to provide the best customer service in the law list business.”
