  • Practice Pointer: Five ways thought leadership is a buyer's remorse elimination tool
    Nov 23 2024

    In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains five ways a law firm's thought leadership can help eliminate the buyer's remorse a client might experience after deciding to retain the firm to handle a new legal matter:

    1. Thought leadership continuously reinforces expertise and authority on the part of the law firm publishing it.

    2. It provides ongoing value for a client beyond the work a law firm is doing on the client's active legal matter(s).

    3. It helps shape clients' understanding of complex legal issues, thus managing their expectations about the result of their legal matter(s).

    4. It demonstrates a law firm has capabilities beyond those it's employing in connection with a client's legal matter(s).

    5. When a law firm's attorneys invite a client to co-produce thought leadership with them, that client will feel valued and appreciated.

  • Practice Pointer: Debunking four misconceptions about thought leadership ghostwriting
    Sep 23 2024

    In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) debunks the following four common misconceptions attorneys, executives at companies that serve the legal industry, and their marketing and business development colleagues have about working with thought leadership ghostwriters.

    1. When an attorney or a legal industry executive works with a thought leadership ghostwriter, the material produced will not reflect the attorney's or the executive's ideas—it will reflect the ghostwriter's ideas.

    2. When attorneys or legal industry executives work with a ghostwriter, they're not in control of the process.

    3. It's rare for professionals to use ghostwriters.

    4. Attorneys and legal industry executives don't need ghostwriters because they're already writing thought leadership materials as part of their ongoing marketing, business development, and personal branding efforts.
