The first time I ever looked at a law firm website was before my interviews at the end of 1L summer. I was following the order of my career officer that I research the firms in advance so as not to look like an uninformed plebe; no such luck. And, for the two years I worked in Biglaw, the only reason I would ever look at my firm or other firms’ websites was if I needed a face to go with the voice of another associate who I’d spoken to on the phone. At no point in time did care about any of the professional resources and definitely not the marketing information.
But as the world wide web grows even webbier, law firms have started to rethink how they can leverage a good site.
Transform Legal Reasoning Into Business-Ready Results With General AI
Protégé™ General AI is fundamentally changing how legal professionals use AI in their everyday practice.
Now, since I know nothing about the complex underworld of law firm sites, I’ve decided to do something different this week and disinvite myself from my own conversation. Instead, Guy Alvarez, cofounder of Good2bsocial and The Social Law Firm, has brought in three experts — Jaron Rubenstein, president of the Rubenstein Technology Group, Brandie Knox of Knox Design Strategy, and Robert Algeri, partner at Great Jakes Marketing Company — to discuss how the goals of law firm websites are changing.
Check back, the conversation will be developing over the next few days…
