Our latest survey of 140 solicitors across law firms of all sizes shows that their use of social media and networking sites is still limited. Here are some key results:
A majority (56%) are on LinkedIn but no other social media tool is used by a majority.
Most solicitors on LinkedIn and other sites are mainly re-active users rather than pro-active users. In other words, they are more likely to be looking at content on these sites rather than adding content. For example, just over a third (36%) say they add content once a week or more but over twice as many (74%) look at content once a week or more. Another 33% only add content a few times a year.
A free copy of the full report – Use of Social Media and Networking Sites by Solicitors – is available here [2].
Coming soon – a free Webinar offering practical advice for solicitors using or thinking of using social media. If you would like to be notified when the Webinar is available please email info@corelegal.net [3].
