For Vancouver area lawyers and legal marketers interested in the exploding world of Social Media/Social Networking and wondering what all the fuss is about, I will be presenting a breakfast session next Wednesday, January 21st at downtown law firm Farris Vaughan Wills & Murphy. Any and all interested parties welcome from committed luddites to the merely curious to hardcore techgeeks who will undoubtedly be able to teach me a thing or three along the way.

The Legal Marketing Association’s Vancouver Chapter held their 2008 HELM Awards (Honouring Excellence in Legal Marketing) earlier today at a sold out event at the Four Seasons’ Hotel in Vancouver.
The awards recognize achievement of British Columbia lawyers and law firms in five categories: corporate social responsibility, young lawyer, managing partner, firm/marketer of the year and lifetime achievement, and are judged by an independent panel of judges drawn from the legal, corporate and marketing sectors. This is the second year for HELM, and in that time it really has done a terrific job of showcasing some of the great work being done in the BC legal market. Without further ado, this year’s winners are:
Corporate Social Responsibility: Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP
Young Lawyer Award: Norm Streu, Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang LLP
Managing Partner Award: Tim Sehmer, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP
Firm/Marketer of the Year Award: Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP
Lifetime Achievement Award: Martin D. Donner, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP
Congratulations to all.

Farris’ Regional Strategy Gets Gold Star

Kudos to the folks at Vancouver law firm Farris, Vaughn, Wills & Murphy LLP for entering the Kelowna market by joining forces with Kelowna law firm Petratoia Langford.
I really like this move from a strategic perspective. Farris is nationally recognized as one of Vancouver’s powerhouses. Expanding regionally instead of nationally distinguishes them from their primary competitors and Kelowna’s explosive growth makes it an important emerging market. Tying in with an existing firm is also a much faster route to local credibility than building an outpost from scratch. No matter how you slice it, this move looks good to me.
