Gone are the days of relying on networking and in-person introductions for client pipeline. The past 18 months have highlighted the need for law firms of all shapes and sizes to have a powerful, accessible, and persuasive digital presence to attract and secure today’s clients. Is yours up to scratch?
Join Clio’s UK Community Manager, Geraldine O’Reilly, to find out more about the importance of having a powerful digital presence, in the fourth episode of the The Making of a Law Firm Series: Winning Websites–A Lawyer’s New Shop-Front Window.
In this session, Geraldine is rejoined by two of our leaders, Elena Manukyan and Alistair Wells, along with law firm marketing expert Rachel Tombs from Orion Legal Marketing. Together the panellists discuss how clients’ expectations have changed and how to adapt your firm’s online presence to not only remain competitive, but lead the pack.
We’ll discuss:
- Websites—essentials for building a future-proofed website, from choosing a platform and hosting, to purchasing a domain name, and much more.
- Content—creating online content to attract and demonstrate expertise, from video and podcasts through to gated guides.
- Budgeting—how much time and energy to spend on marketing, plus ways to get creative in those early days.
The two leaders rejoining us for this event and sharing their experiences are:
- Elena Manukyan, Partner at The Injury Solicitor
- Alistair Wells, Founder and Director at Tend Legal
Session duration: 60 minutes
