I’m a lawyer, but innovator at heart. While I’ve been been awarded numerous state and commonwealth awards for driving innovation and change in difficult social and legal landscapes, it really has just sprung from looking at things differently. These days, I work a lot with predominantly professional services firms on innovation, particularly through the smart use of digital marketing. I do most of this work via my company, Grow your Firm, a trail-blazing innovation and marketing agency that since its inception in late 2010, is working with lots of law firms in Australia, and most recently the US.
Grow your Firm specialises in innovation, particularly how it should manifest in your firm if it’s serious about being client-centric and of course, out-smarting your competitors. Grow your Firm does online strategy, web design, development, social media, email campaigns and we build platforms to leverage your firm even further.
I also host the weekly, Law Firm Marketing Podcast where I get to talk with amazing people who are either knee-deep in marketing professional services firms, or who are doing great, innovative legal stuff generally. I’m also working on a number of joint initiatives internationally, one of which is the Law Firm Marketing Masters Series and another cool gig with the great, Nancy Fox.
I’m still as passionate as ever about social justice, which is what led me to the law in the first place, and I’ve just finished writing a book, “Disability and the Queensland Criminal Justice System.” It will be published by Thomson Reuters in early 2012.
I’m also an Adjunct Professor at QUT Faculty of Law and a long standing Director of Legal Aid Queensland.
And just for the sake of it, I’m creating heaps of online legal portals, like my free online will kit, which is all about preventing so many people who die without ever doing a will, leaving their family members and loved ones in a real pickle and another legal platform which simply put, will answer your legal questions for free.
So, how can I help you?
