The challenge

Billable time is precious

Every hour spent on social media is an hour away from client work. Posting ends up sporadic, or falls to whoever has a spare minute.

Advertising rules are strict

What lawyers can say publicly is regulated, and the rules differ by jurisdiction. Posts need careful wording and usually a second pair of eyes.

Legal topics are hard to make engaging

Explaining the law accurately and briefly is tricky. It's easy to sound either too dense or too casual for a professional audience.

How PilotPost helps law firms

Associates and marketing staff draft posts, and a partner approves them before they publish. Admin, Editor, and Contributor roles keep access appropriate.

Tips

Follow your bar's advertising rules

Lawyer advertising rules vary by bar and jurisdiction, so check yours before posting. Avoid guarantees or implied outcomes, and never share client names or details without consent. This is general guidance, not legal advice.

Label general information clearly

Add a short line to educational posts saying they're general information, not legal advice, and invite people to contact the firm about their own situation.

Repurpose what you already write

Client alerts, newsletters, and articles can each become several short posts. One article can fill a week of your calendar.

Put faces on the firm

People hire people. Short videos of attorneys explaining a topic often feel more approachable than graphics alone.

Frequently asked questions

Is social media worth it for a law firm?

What should a law firm post?

General legal explainers, answers to common questions, firm news, event invites, and team introductions. Keep everything general and avoid promising outcomes.

Which networks should a law firm use?

LinkedIn is useful for referrals and business clients, Facebook for local consumers, and YouTube for longer explainers. Pick the ones your clients actually use.
