SEO has moved away from its shady and often misunderstood past and has fallen much more in line with traditional marketing activities. Equally, as consumers are ever more connected, PR has followed that trend to focus more on online activity. In 2017, these disciplines are overlapping more than ever. This presentation asks the question – where’s the line with PR & SEO and should there even be a line at all?
Law firms historically have overlooked what might be the most important part of the lawyer-client relationship — the sales and client intake process. Many law firms stumble in this crucial first step of retaining new clients and initiating new matters. While many firms have greatly improved their case management procedures the intake process has been ignored almost entirely.
Modern client intake has advanced beyond simply taking notes on a legal pad. Firms now need to be able to document their clients’ case using tools accessible from anywhere and integrated throughout their systems. Clio and Lexicata together have built the most powerful and comprehensive intake and case management platform in the world.
Join Clio’s Lawyer in Residence, Joshua Lenon, along with Michael Chasin, founder of Lexicata, as they teach you how to build your own perfect intake system for your law firm.
In this one-hour webinar, learn how you can use Clio and Lexicata to:
Streamline, speed up, and better organize your client intake
Ethically handle contact information and conflict checks for prospective clients
Use modern intake tools to eliminate data entry for your firm
Manage your CRM cycle to anticipate future clients’ legal needs

How To Improve Your Organic Growth: Stop Building Links & Start Earning ThemSearch Engine Journal
Have so-called “link building experts” burned you in the past?
Did their methods, results, and communication around their backlink services seem “off?”
The sad reality is that too many link building efforts are morally questionable or just plain ineffective.
The good news is there are other ways to dramatically improve your backlink profile without doing what most people do.
It’s time to take the approach of "earning" links instead of "building" them!

Watch our webinar to learn how you can earn links by creating and distributing authoritative content and how this translates into improved organic traffic – within just a few months.
You'll discover:
- Why "earning" links is better than "building" them.
- How to earn links.
- The results you can expect from this link building strategy.
Watch Amanda Milligan, Head of Marketing at Stacker Studio, as she shows a proven method of creating newsworthy content that delivers results.

There's been a trend toward *earning* links, and for good reason. When you're creating newsworthy content that is actually worthy of being linked to, you have a much better chance of scaling up your link building in a sustainable, high-quality way while simultaneously providing much more value to your audience. In this presentation, I'll explain how to start earning links and how this approach can have a massive impact on your organic growth.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Editor's Notes
About me… die-hard rangers/mets/jets fansManic associate at a law firmCompany picSomebody sellingUnique perspective
Many of you are familiar with PR Newswire as being one of the leading distributors of press release content for the last 50+ years. However over the last 10-15 years PR Newswire has morphed into one of the largest content syndication companies in the world. While PR Newswire’s goal is to help companies amplify their stories to make content visible and engage their audiences, I’m not here to talk about PR Newswire services today. At the heart, PR Newswire is interested in driving growth and winning customers/clientsjust like many of you. We have embraced content marketing over the last 2-3 years in order to reach our target marketers. Today we are focusing on how law firms can leverage those trends, what we’ve observed, and what has worked for us.
Now let’s talk how this relates to law firms. Law firms have a significant amount of great content, but they tend not to optimize it. They tend to only syndicate to known audiences. It often can be too high brow and not actionable. So our focus today is on how law firms can get the most out of their content marketing efforts as well as some other related best practices. Clearly there are a lot of challenges. Small budgets. Control issues re social media, etc. Bandwidth. Getting associates and partners to free up time to write, but firms can do content marketing in a cost efficient and functional way and it will get them a lot more benefit than buying ads in ALM publications or a column in the NY Law Journal.
It is critical that a firm - engage in thought leadership activities online. Publish articles, white papers, webinars, short videos, etc. that address the questions and concerns your potential customers may have, and that build credibility with this audience. Law firms do a decent job of this, but the problem is that a significant part of the universe to which the relevant firm is marketing itself will never see this content. That is because a very large majority of the content that law firms create is placed on their website and maybe distributed to their email lists (i.e. a known audience). In order to successfully drive more leads and clients, firms need to amplify what they are doing to their known audiences by distributing their content throughout earned, paid and owned media. Email, broadcast and print advertising can be effective, but they are that much more effective when the relevant content is distributed to numerous other relevant sites online. This makes the content more discoverable.INTERESTING, VALUABLE, ENGAGING AND CREATIVE CONTENT.
Let’s look at the value exchange. For a brand, content is the currency. For the audience, personal information is the currency. The value exchange happens when the content a brand continuously delivers establishes its worth to its audience and in turn the audience trusts the brand enough to identify themselves and provide permission to the brand to establish a relationship with them, to invite them to take an action.
More advanced/sophisticated content strategies should map to “desired outcome” Depending on the situation, you can’t just throw a proposal at a client. Need to nurture them.
Content must be mapped to business objectives – whether you are simply looking to position yourself as a thought leader or you are looking to drive more tangible results, your content strategy must support your business objectives so that you are driving results that will have an impact on your organization. Content must be appealing – If your content isn’t interesting, engaging, useful or appealing to your audience, they won’t care. They won’t read it; they won’t share it; they won’t act on it. It will just be more noise. Content should include specific ‘Calls to Action’ – Whether the “Calls to Action” are focused on sharing the content or asking the audience to provide you with information in exchange for the content or lead to an immediate sales opportunity, CTAs are critical to measuring the results of your content marketing efforts. If you have a benchmark like State Farm did, you can measure against that. Content has to be easily found by your audience - Search engines and social networks play a huge role in the ability to drive content marketing, but so does syndication. When your content is visible on websites that your audiences rely on for information, the content is credible.
We’re entered the era of more interactive, two-way communication between consumer and brand across all media. Companies must provide value and engage customers in meaningful and exciting ways in order to gain their trust.
Marketing today – conversational, drives behavior, focused on storytelling and content that is shareable. Great to create a content strategy and editorial calendar and to have someone manage it, but even if you don’t, you can still be an effective content marketer.
1. Keep it real. Make your attorneys more approachable by showing their human sides. Don’t script the video; come prepared with a list of questions and record the natural answers that follow. Prep your subject and make sure he/she understands that honesty and approachability are paramount.2. Make it short and sweet. No one will watch an epic video on your law firm (unless it has an extremely compelling story, of course). Keep your videos short and to the point—no longer than a minute if you can fit everything in. That way, you’ll keep your viewer’s attention in that short window.3. Record more than you need. You’ve heard of the cutting room floor. Now, it’s time to put your producer’s cap on and use it. Always record more material than you could possibly use in a video. That way, you can trim the fat and have plenty of valuable content left over.4. Represent your brand.If you’ve developed a unique voice to match your brand identity, make sure your videos align with
Rapid pace of high quality content creation. Get everyone to contribute. Get senior and powerful partners blogging or in front of a camera. Not just marketing. Lawyers are great assets. Set guidelines and Marketing can edit. Encourage different content forms. use numbers to communicate the impact it has on your business.Its much more concrete to communicate that a blog post generated 500 page views, 20 inbound links, 3 new leads - one of which is poised to close this week - than to say, "Fred wrote a really interesting blog post last month."If staff members can see for themselves how their content is directly contributing to important company goals, like hitting marketing's leads goal, or sales hitting their quota, you can bet people will be much more interested in creating content. It's a good feeling.
Bringing customer voice into content… this will also help get your content seen in future searches (as you’re incorporating terms and keywords that your audience is using)
Take a look at the video on this law firm website (believe its one of the Martindale ones). Does anyone really think a video of lawyers standing around talking at each other, a framed certificate of admission to the Supreme Court, what looks to be an yellow page ad, and some newspaper headlines is going to incent clients to call them? Some tips: Know your audience1. It's very slickly produced. In my opinion, I'm not sure I believe the guy speaking. It's way too slick on "markety" 2. The video doesn't really have much personality. 3. It doesn't really answer the question in a clear way. 4. If this was really good content marketing, it would be clear what someone should do after watching the video. Right now it flashes a website that is basically an "about the corporate practice page". This should lead to some additional content on the subject. 5. Besides just call to action, ask yourself if this is content that someone would want to share with another audience.....and then actually try to share it. In this case, you actually can't share the video at all. It can't be embedded somewhere else. It can be posted on social media directly. It can't even be emailed. The only way to share this content is by that long URL.
Trust today is so important especially online. Trust is the ultimate goal because once your audience trusts you and your content they will keep coming back. This means that you have to have reliable content on a regular basis, and that content has to delight your audience on a regular basis. So, think closely and really determine whether your audience will go with you on your content journey if you start to veer off path, because once you do veer off your path your audience may not come back....at least not as often as you might like.
A law firm’s website serves two purposes.Find information about the firm Hub of a firm’s marketing activities. Pull in aggregated content. Multimedia = more engagement>Any marketer will tell you that your target audiences will spend more time on your site and click more often if your site contains multimedia elements, such as videos, photos and charts. Sadly, many law firm sites do not contain any of these elements (other than pictures of lawyers). Brandstreaming>Blend the About Us section of your website with your News & Events content to differentiate your firm from competitors while building authority and goodwill with your audience

One of the biggest benefits of publishing the content and fostering the interactions mentioned above is the fact that these activities can have a powerful impact on your web site’s organic search rank. Providing fresh and current information gives search engines incentive to come back to your site repeatedly, and social interactions send potent signals to the search engines indicating people are finding the content useful. Because the majority of internet searchers choose to click on organic links rather than sponsored ads within their search results, it is easy to see why getting your firm onto the first page of search results is important.
Bloggers and journalists produce content for communities that follow them own a small piece or real estate online that is trafficked by interested parties. Engageinfluencers to “rent” a portion of this real Using a credible third-party distribution service helps because journalists and bloggers need content and are more likely to use content from a reliable source. Another tactic is to use platforms that get experts (i.e. attorneys) quoted by relevant journalists and bloggers.

Like most lawyers, I have control issues. Giving up control by posting something in social media can be scary. That said, more and more firms are doing it, especially to establish their attorneys as thought leaders. Your clients and potential clients are on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook and social media is often the best way to engage with them and establish yourself as the go to person on a topic. There are many ways to increase your followers on social networks.Sharing among your core key influential audiences is today one of the (if not the #1) form of earned media today. For the legal world, it's not just about getting quoted in the NY Times and on networks, but it's the recommendations that come and get passed along when someone goes online via Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and suggest that they are looking for help on a matter. This matters when a start up just gets VC funding and the VC suggests that they work with one of the follow attorneys or firms because..... and then the start up starts to do the research on their own. If that law firm doesn't look the part that they understand the business / culture, then they are likely to get passed over.
The big issue/push back is balancing risk/reward in an online environment. Lawyers are control freaks and the more you push out, the less you own. I think it’s important to weave into remarks.
A firm can link to an expert profile, a white paper, an event registration page or their own website.
Clearly this isn’t only picked up in full form on the Yahoo! Site, but journalists and bloggers are grabbing it and writing about it.

Whether it be a key Supreme Court decision or some other event, things are happening every day that provide an opportunity for a firm to share its perspective and expertise. We have seen many firms jump in on issues such as Obamacare, new tax laws, the fiscal cliff, gun control, etc. By engaging in newsjacking, the firm is able to draft off of an event to accelerate its Marketing efforts and drive more leads. And the beauty of this is that so long as the quality of the content is high, a small firm can be just as effective as a large firm.
