Practice Pointer: Do this one thing to prevent opposing counsel from using your thought leadership against you

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) debunks the following four common misconceptions attorneys, executives at companies that serve the legal industry, and their marketing and business development colleagues have about working with thought leadership ghostwriters.

1. When an attorney or a legal industry executive works with a thought leadership ghostwriter, the material produced will not reflect the attorney's or the executive's ideas—it will reflect the ghostwriter's ideas.

2. When attorneys or legal industry executives work with a ghostwriter, they're not in control of the process.

3. It's rare for professionals to use ghostwriters.

4. Attorneys and legal industry executives don't need ghostwriters because they're already writing thought leadership materials as part of their ongoing marketing, business development, and personal branding efforts.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains six ways thought leadership can support your firm's strategic plan. 

1. By covering issues or developments regarding the practices and kinds of matters it's already known for 

2. By covering issues or developments related to the kinds of matters it wants more of 

3. By covering issues or developments in the industries it wants more clients in 

4. By strengthening, through co-authoring or co-producing content, relationships with the referral sources and other third parties it wants to strengthen relationships with 

5. By discussing the kinds of business of law/practice of law initiatives the firm wants to develop, such as ones regarding culture, professional development, etc. 

6. The mere act of publishing thought leadership regarding the above five categories of topics will support a strategic plan's emphasis on attorneys producing thought leadership as part of their marketing and business development efforts

Practice Pointer: All thought leadership boils down to these two words

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains the benefits of attorneys talking in their thought leadership about their philosophies regarding solving clients' legal and business issues instead of just the tactics they would employ when doing so.

Those benefits include:

1. The attorneys show clients they've thought deeply about the issues they're discussing in their thought leadership

2. They demonstrate to clients that they have the knowledge, wisdom, and experience to help them solve their legal or business problems

3. They show clients they are aware of the trends and developments in their industries and in the attorneys' own practice areas

4. They create a connection with those clients who share, or agree with, their philosophies

5. They repel those clients who neither share nor agree with their philosophies

6. They differentiate themselves from their competitors

7. They attract like-minded lateral attorneys and staff

Practice Pointer: Attorneys should talk about philosophies—not just tactics—in their thought leadership

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains six ways that thought leadership can help attorneys secure speaking engagements. 

1. It gets them exposure to event organizers and people who influence those organizers.

2. It gives them credibility as someone knowledgeable and wise about the topics they cover, the areas of law they practice, and the industries they serve. 

3. It shows event organizers they can tackle a wide range of topics. 

4. It gives event organizers a preview of their stage presence. 

5. When their thought leadership helps them build a social media following or a large number of subscribers to a newsletter, those followers and subscribers show event organizers people are interested in what the attorneys have to say. 

6. When an attorney's thought leadership is published in third-party publications, and/or leads to media interviews or podcast invitations, event organizers realize the attorney is in demand and recognized as an established thought leader who attendees will want to hear from.
