It hasn’t been an easy year for me.
Right about this time last year, I was packing up the last of my boxes to move into my boyfriend’s apartment.

Don’t use your social channels to only focus on your firm’s work and its substantive news, events and publications – that can make your firm seem dry, a little boastful and devoid of personality and heart.
Firms should also showcase their “softer” side, which can support their business development efforts, because clients want to peek behind the curtains on the firms on which they rely.
