Interview with Adrian Dayton on law firms and social media marketing

Jonathan Lea

The following youtube video is a recording of a Google Hangout interview with Adrian Dayton, an internationally recognised speaker and consultant on social media and business development, particularly for the legal sector.  He is the author of two books, LinkedIn & Blogs for Lawyers: Building High Value Relationships in a Digital Age (West 2012), and Social Media for Lawyers: Twitter Edition (ARK 2009) and his consulting business  has been engaged for the last three years with Global 100, AmLaw 250, Canadian and Australian firms helping them to increase profitability through effective use of digital media.

The subjects we cover in the interview include how Adrian left his career as a practising lawyer behind and successfully pivoted in quite a short space of time to become a well known social media blogger in the legal community, his best examples of lawyers using social media today and his views on the future of the legal profession.

We also talk about how any lawyer can develop a name for themselves online now whereas beforehand people were judged by what law school or university they went to, how lawyers can be too pre-occupied by LinkedIn whereas blogging and developing the right relationships and distribution network on Twitter for your content is more important, the usefulness of Facebook for building the social connection (evidenced by Adrian’s choice of holiday destination in Spain this year, as recommended by me in response to one of his posts on Facebook), Adrian’s strategy for travelling the world and working at the same time (including how he generated opportunities for himself in Australia) and his views for the need of lawyers to now adopt a ‘hyper-specialism’ approach to practising law.

About Jonathan Lea

Jonathan is a specialist business law solicitor who has been practising for over 18 years, starting at the top international City firms before then spending some time at a couple of smaller practices. In 2013 he started working on a self-employed basis as a consultant solicitor, while in 2019 The Jonathan Lea Network became a SRA regulated law firm itself after Jonathan got tired of spending all day referring clients and work to other law firms.

The Jonathan Lea Network is now a full service firm of solicitors that employs senior and junior solicitors, trainee solicitors, paralegals and administration staff who all work from a modern open plan office in Haywards Heath. This close-knit retained team is enhanced by a trusted network of specialist consultant solicitors who work remotely and, where relevant, combine seamlessly with the central team.

If you’d like a competitive quote for any legal work please first complete our contact form, or send an email to wewillhelp@jonathanlea.net with an introduction and an overview of the issues you’d like to discuss. Someone will then liaise to fix a mutually convenient time for either a no obligation discovery call with one of our solicitors (following which a quote can be provided), or if you are instead looking for advice and guidance from the outset we may offer a one-hour fixed fee appointment in place of the discovery call.

We are always keen to take on new work and ensure that clients will not only come back to us again, but also recommend us to others too.
