    If you want people to read what you write, you have to write stuff people want to read. There are few better, if any, than Shipman & Goodwin LLP's Daniel Schwartz. ??

    My "innie" at work would not approve of Lumon Industries; my "outie", though, is obsessed with it. If you still think your "Innie" is referring to your belly button, then you likely aren't watching one of the biggest television shows of this year -- Severance. (Here's where I say: very mild spoilers ahead.) The show's premise is based on a sci-fi notion that a company (Lumon Industries) has created a technology where a person has two different sides of them -- their work self ("Innie") that only exists at the office and their outside of work self ("outie") that only exists everywhere else, with each side having no memory of what the other side knows or does. The season two finale of the show is coming up later this week, so because this shows deals so much in the work space, I thought it would be fun to talk about an employment law aspect of the show (I've done more on my blog too). After all, while you can take the employment lawyer out of work -- my outie still knows way too much of employment law to just ignore it. On a recent episode, one of the "innies" tries to resign for various reasons. The employee is required to fill out a form. The funniest/strangest part is the section where the "outie" has to approve of the "innie"'s request. It should go without saying that this is many shades illegal because, well, we don't have (or shouldn't have) forced labor still in the United States. Employment-at-will is a notion that I've talked about many times before; but in the Severance world (with the home office in the fictional town of Kier), the outies control. Horrible way to run a business but let's face it -- it's perfect for this show. Also, there are no magic forms that an employee needs to use to resign. And while employers request that employees provide two weeks' notice, there's no law that requires that. In another episode, two of the "innies" have a romantic relationship. But here's where we can cut Severance some slack. Romantic relationships aren't per se illegal; indeed, our society is filled with many instances of people who find their true love at work. But. When I'm doing sexual harassment prevention training, I often caution people that relationships are not the best idea -- and should be activly discouraged between a supervisor and a direct report because if things turn bad, it could lead to a sexual harassment claim. So, here's hoping the "innies" find their true love. Do you follow Severance? What other employment law issues have I missed?

    Trial lawyer of 17 years turned legal tech entrepreneur, pioneering legal blogging 21 years ago to help lawyers grow their business. As LexBlog CEO, I’m honored to serve over 50,000 lawyers publishing with us worldwide.

    Reviewing the “2025 State of Digital & Content Marketing” from Greentarget Global Group, @ public relations firm focused on the communications needs of business-to-business organizations, in many cases the leading law firms and The Zeughauser Group, a management and consulting group working with Global 25 law firm chairs, and general counsel. (Report available on Greentarget’s website) Green Target’s President and co-founder, John Corey has led the distribution and socializing of this report, year after year. As always, this report is better than the year before. Strong data, well researched. I was struck by the growing influence of blogs, and thought leadership as influencers in hiring lawyers. IKey Findings included: + “LinkedIn and blogs continue to gain ground; 66% of decision-makers see LinkedIn as a valuable content distribution platform for obtaining business intelligence, and 69% consider thought leadership websites and blogs a valuable content resource.” + “Thought leadership continues to play a significant role in influencing hiring decisions; it ranks second among both groups (in-house counsel, c-suite) as an important source in hiring firms.” I focused my brief video on thought leadership and blogs. I’ll continue reading the report and share more soon. The report may have been prepared for larger professional services firms, but its information is highly relevant for small and medium sized law firms who want to build a strong book of business by reputation and relationships - the key way of getting hired for most lawyers. John Corey does an excellent job breaking down the details of the annual report. I’d love to have him on an upcoming video show if mine to inspire and educate legal professionals and law firms —both those actively publishing and using digital media, as well as those still on the sidelines.

    I help trial lawyers win by developing key strategies, crafting persuasive briefs, and presenting compelling arguments in courts across Texas.

    While getting my new solo practice (Texas Appellate Counsel PLLC) off the ground, I've been quietly working on a new website—one that defies some of today's conventional legal marketing wisdom. It's a work in progress (I'll be adding past Texas Appellate Law Podcast content soon), but I'm finally comfortable sharing it. ?? I had a clear vision for what I wanted the site to do, and LexBlog, Inc. brought it to life. I've known and admired Kevin O'Keefe and his team for two decades, and they are first-class. I'm thrilled to be back in the LexBlog fold and couldn't be happier with the results. Take a look ??: https://lnkd.in/gkcWqGTV. I'd love to hear what you think! ?? #AppellateLinkedIn #TexAppCounsel #SoloPractice ????

    Some quick thoughts on an article on a law firm website and a legal blog publication. I was asked the difference in a meeting a few weeks ago. + Blogs build recognizable thought leadership. + Blogs keep lawyers in ‘legal conversations’ among thought leaders. +Blogs generate engagement and business devdeveloment. + Blogs have greater greater SEO, source capability on AI and searchability, overall. + Bloggers help strengthen a firms marketing and media presence. Get the details in this brief video.
