Attorney Kenneth Rashbaum of Barton LLP generously made time to sit down with the Legal Marketing Studio to discuss the shifts that he’s seen in his thirty plus years practicing the law and the ways in which the rapid technological advances during that time have affected the legal industry. These changes have created both opportunities and risks for law firms from both marketing and business standpoints. Ken describes the business, legal, marketing and ethical reasons for engaging with technological advancements and integrating them into one’s practice. Along the way, he also touches on the increasing need to provide value for clients and to communicate effectively with them (and everyone else).

At the heart of nearly all marketing materials are words. How well those words are written will determine how effectively they reach the intended audience. Edie Reinhardt and I sat down to discuss writing well, writing with purpose and writing to strategic effect. With a background in both the law and publishing, Edie has a unique perspective on how to tailor one’s writing for a particular audience in a consistent, personal voice and maintain that writing over the long time span required of content marketing.
