Erinn Larson is the Director of Marketing & Business Development at Hirsch Roberts Weinstein LLP, a Boston-based boutique law firm specializing in employment law, labor law and litigation.

I met Virginia native Erinn through the Legal Marketing Association several years ago and invited her to be part of conference committee I was co-chairing. I was so impressed with Erinn’s work ethic, her poise, her creativity and her enthusiasm.

We stayed in touch long after that conference, and today, despite our age difference (yes, I’m much older), we learn from each other. We often partner together hosting Clubhouse rooms and other social media programs. She is not a big self promoter, so I am going to do that for her (and others) through this series.
