Getting routine law firm news published still delivers value, requires savvy PR know-how
How many times over the past 12 to 24 months have you clicked to read an online story or mention of your law firm or firm’s attorneys, only to be blocked by the dreaded subscription paywall?

How can you reach and recruit diverse lawyers?
I am amazed by how many managing partners and firm practice group leaders tell me, “Mike, we’re having trouble recruiting a homogenous, non-diverse stable of lawyers; we want to grow our numbers but we can’t seem to break the cycle of onboarding lawyers who all look very different from each other and represent different life experiences, ethnicities, geographies and genders.

Easing the transition
The Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) has been an important program for businesses struggling with the economic fallout of the pandemic. This program (which began on March 15, 2020) was designed to keep employees on the payroll during a time when businesses were experiencing unprecedented disruption in revenue.
