Real Lawyers Have Blogs On the topic of the law, firm marketing, social media, & baseball

Law blogs be hot

May have noticed my blogging has been a little light this week. The reason is simple. The demand for law blogs is increasing.

Not sure if it’s a blip on the radar, but the number of law firms who have contacted LexBlog the last week making inquiry of our services is up. The number of law firms ready to get started blogging with us has also taken a jump.

My gut tells me it’s a few things. One, law firms have realized blogs are not a fad, they are here to stay. Two, law firms are seeing the results other lawyers are getting in enhancing their reputations and growing their business through blogs. And three, LexBlog’s turnkey blog solution providing an effective, easy to use, safe, and empowering atmosphere of software and support makes for a soft landing into the world of law blogging.

Not sure you remember it Denise (Howell), but when giving me a lift back to the Oakland Airport last year you asked what LexBlog was going to do when all heck broke loose on the law firm blogging front. Can’t tell for certain Denise, but it may be that all heck is breaking loose.

Most exciting for me is the team we’ve developed at LexBlog. We’re ready for the demand. In fact, we just added a senior level employ to serve as VP of Client Development – more to come on that tomorrow.

    Hi Kevin, it’s a great problem to have! I guess the trick is to capitalise on what the market, and ideally driven by what the client, wants. Let me know if you ever need any Australain input. Lawyers Weekly (www.lawyersweekly.com.au) has jumped on it down here.. though no necessarily in true blogging form. Cheers.

    Thanks for the offer on Australian input Luke. I’ll take you up on it. We’ll need to set up a time to chat.
    We’ll soon have an Australian law firm up on a LexBlog blog. Was talking with our client services director, Stacey Merrick, yesterday following her training session with some Melbourne attorneys.
    No problem in LexBlog’s empowering lawyers internationally, we just need to take into account the time zones for purposes of training and support. ;)

    There’s probably a few cultural differences as well which may not be so evident at first, but once you start scratching the surface of the professional culture, there’ll be a few different perspectives! Nothing that can’t be worked through. Shoot me an email sometime about what you’re up to. Happy to help out or chat sometime about what you’re up to.
