I recently joined the Kanooni Kisse: Law, Life & Musings podcast to discuss my passion for automating the most tedious tasks legal professionals encounter. During our conversation, we delved into how our new legaltech product is designed to handle repetitive duties — like compiling the list of dates — so lawyers can concentrate on more strategic, fulfilling aspects of their work. Building trust between legal professionals and modern technology is essential. By showcasing practical solutions that enhance efficiency without sacrificing accuracy, we're fostering confidence in how automation can support the legal industry. It was rewarding to share insights on bridging the gap between traditional legal practices and innovative tools. If you're interested in how automation is transforming legal work and how we're contributing to that change, you can listen to the episode here: https://lnkd.in/drVU-eR5

Last year, I was invited to speak about LinkedIn marketing for lawyers on the Maximum Lawyer podcast with Jim Hacking and Tyson Mutrux. Here's a link to the episode: https://lnkd.in/eu4uA4G4. It's been a year since that episode and since then, I've generated: — Over 3 million impressions (and in the last few years, 10m+ impressions). — Thousands of case leads. And since then, here are some things that I've experimented with on LinkedIn that might help you as a lawyer: — Newsletters on LinkedIn (every time you post a newsletter post, you notify everyone who is subscribed not only through LinkedIn but through email as well). — Groups (public group posts are circulated in the feed as well). — Pages (through which you can become "the" page for a topic or interest). Want to learn more about any of the above? Feel free to email me at jason@ksjmarketing.com to schedule a call! #linkedinforlawyers #lawfirm #linkedinmarketing #lawyer #legalmarketing
