Deacons - Real Lawyers Have Blogs http://kevin.lexblog.com/articles/social-networking-1/ Law Blogs, Social Media, Twitter en-us Copyright 2011 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:46:34 -0800 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 09:45:35 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss The state of the AmLaw 200 Twittersphere That'll be the next report we'll need to put together at LexBlog. That'll be in addition to our regular State of the AmLaw 200 Blogosphere.

I'm sure there are other large law firms who have jumped on Twitter, Australia's Deacons comes to mind, but Hinshaw & Culbertson, a national law firm with 475 lawyers in 25 offices has created their firm Twitter account today.

Hinshaw hasn't yet cranked up its Twitter feed, presumably to disseminate legal news and links to the firm's intellectual capital and press copy, but it has started following Twitter feeds of legal professionals who have good a following on Twitter. That's been done to get these influencers to follow them. And over time to spread Hinshaw's message via Twitter and other social media. Worked for me.

Clean up that fuzzy graphic 'H' logo guys. It's beneath Hinshaw's reputation and brand. ;)
