Firm Blogging – not so strong as it sounds
October 15, 2006
The question i raise, is as the wheather weblogs have a place in the legal practice? This is in response to a paper i read – DO WEBLOGS HAVE A PLACE IN LEGAL PRACTICE? by Damien Piper. Damien, believes that yes indeed, weblogs can help firms, particularly smaller firms, ‘advertise’ the knowledge in specific areas of law to the world. He gives a few examples where lawyers have subsequently received business as a result of their blogging. As yet, today’s legal practice (see a previous entry titled “Has the computer really improved work at a legal practice?”) in general terms may not be ready for such a way to find clients. Give it a few years, when people like us, the students of today are running the show…

I think the danger of this type of firm blogging would be the absence of a single voice for the firm – unless in the case of a small practice.
I think for larger firms, it would present far two great a risk of the views of individuals within a firm conveying their personal views which could be misconstrued as the firms. This could have widespread ramifications which could even result in the firm loosing work!

Webblog does have advertising effects i consider. And it can be another channel for the public to gain more legal information. So why not ?
