The Legal Marketing Institute has been designed for the following audiences:
- Individual Lawyers – Internet marketing can seem daunting between the myriad platforms available and the ethical implications to be considered, yet it is becoming a valuable, if not necessary, tool for many attorneys. Our faculty bring both internet marketing and legal experience to our program to address the unique factors lawyers face in this arena.
- Marketing Staff – Staying up to date on the latest developments in SEO, social media and online advertising is a challenge even for seasoned marketing professionals. Get current and receive training specifically tailored to the legal industry.
- Administrative Staff – Online marketing tasks are increasingly delegated to administrative staff. Our program is designed to add valuable skills which improve both effectiveness and efficiency, and provides career development for existing support staff.
The Institute was developed as an extension of the highly successful consulting and custom training programs currently offered independently by JB Media Group and NC Legal Marketing. Our faculty bring extensive experience as both presenters and professionals working in internet marketing and the law.
