Speakers Announced for Florida Bar Rules on Advertising & Legal Marketing Insights CLE June 24th

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - June 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The Legal Learning Series is pleased to announce the speakers for the upcoming Florida Bar Rules on Advertising & Legal Marketing Insights CLE taking place June 24th.  Most attorneys and firms do not have the luxury of having an experienced marketing director, business developer or pr professional on staff. The session is designed to update these law firms on the latest changes to Florida Bar advertising rules and their potential impact on marketing efforts statewide. Participants will hear law firm leaders and industry professionals share their insights into the new rules and answer questions about legal marketing.

"Many attorneys have no idea if they are following the rules," said Robert Friedman, Co-creator of the Legal Learning Series. "If you manage your own marketing, advertising or public relations you can try to figure it out on your own and hope you don't screw up too badly or you can get a baseline understanding from professionals that are willing to share their knowledge and experience to help you start off in the right direction. In the end, it is your business and license on the line."

Presenters for this interactive program include:

• Thomas R. Julin - Chair of the First Amendment Litigation Group of Hunton & Williams LLP.  Mr. Julin served as lead counsel for eight major law firms in opposing the Florida Supreme Court plan to extend its lawyer advertising rules to lawyer websites.
