Traditional media for law firms

People are always talking about social and new media for law firms. Today we want to talk about traditional media for lawyers and law firms. Here we go.

Being a late chronotype, mornings are never easy. Nonetheless, as I rose early on the morning of June 3 2013 I did the usual and switched onto Radio 4. And at 14 minutes past the ungodly hour of 6am the dulcet and lawyerly tones of Gary Miller came wafting across the airwaves; mixing it up of course with the fumes from my intermittent quaffing of coffee.

But back to Gary Miller - who is he? Mr Miller is an international litigator and insolvency specialist with Mishcon de Reya. A law firm we have come to grow found of at Elephant creative – see here and here.

Personal Branding for Lawyers

Good starting point is with Belfast-based international libel lawyer Paul Tweed who calls www.paultweed.com home in the online world. Then there's former MP and TV face barrister Jerry Hayes who can be found at www.jerryhayes.co.uk.

There's obviously more to building a personal brand online and offline than a personal website. But as I've alluded to before: the blog/website give or take is the online home of the modern lawyer. Other social media channels can buttress and compliment this; but know this: the website and blog are the foundation.
