The 4 Core Components of a Successful Social Media Strategy: Marketing, Communications, Sales and LEGAL
Law firms have significant regulations on how they can and cannot develop business and interact
with prospective company clients. As a result, we have learned that an effort to leverage social
media to increase brand recognition, enhance client service and develop new clients must involve
members of marketing, sales/business development, PR/communications and legal. If, as a
corporation you do not approach social media with an integrated strategy and include your legal
department you risk not only failing but also violating ethical, legal and potential privacy laws
depending on your industry. This panel will discuss some of the legal issues that can arise when
implementing a social media strategy as well as the importance of ensuring that social media is
not isolated from sales, marketing and public relations.
