About Beard Group

Who we are

Beard Group, Inc. is a law and business publisher founded in 1987. The world's largest law firms, financial professionals, risk managers, business consultants, and investors rely on our newsletter titles and research. All of our news and research is available via LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters' Westlaw, The Bloomberg Professional Service, Dow Jones' Factiva, Refinitiv (an LSEG business), and AlphaSense — and we're honored to contribute third-party content to these market-moving syndication outlets.

What we do

Beyond our newsletters, Beard Group publishes more than 300 business, law, and finance books through BeardBooks.com, produces webinars and podcasts for the corporate restructuring and complex litigation markets, and hosts two of the industry's leading annual gatherings in Midtown Manhattan: the Distressed Investing Conference and the Class Action Money & Ethics Conference.

Our history

Our roots trace back to 1987, when founder Christopher Beard launched Turnarounds & Workouts, a newsletter covering the corporate restructuring industry. The Troubled Company Reporter followed in 1994, establishing the daily coverage of chapter 11 filings and corporate distress that remains the core of our business today. In the decades since, our roster has grown to more than a dozen titles covering bankruptcy, restructuring, and class action litigation across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific.
