Three things to include in your law firm website’s ‘About’ section
When it comes to marketing a law firm, how do you differentiate your firm’s identity from others in the market?

It’s not the quality of the attorneys; no firm would boast that their lawyers are the second-best in their region or area of practice.

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.

Burning out? Help is on the way!
The COVID-19 pandemic has had negative impacts on our working world and economy. Jim Clifton, chair and CEO of Gallop stated, “Only 15 per cent of the world’s full-time workers are engaged at work and that’s what the whole world wants is a good job, and we are failing to deliver it.” In other words, a full 85 per cent of workers on this planet are not engaged at work. Imagine the economic, social, physical and mental health ramifications of that fact.
