In this technologically driven era, digitalisation has permeated almost every aspect of human lives and businesses, and law firms and legal organisations are no alien to this concept. In this ever so quickly growing landscape, having a solid digital presence has become quite important. This can be for numerous reasons, ranging from: 1. 2. Visibility of the websites and social media handles; 3. Reputation management; or 4. Overall growth of the firm. Digital marketing has also started to become the core of business development strategy for several law firms. Furthermore, there was a survey of about 20 law firms wherein efforts were put in to access these firms' digital efforts (including metrics like LinkedIn engagement, reviews, etc.). One must note that the top five firms who demonstrated exceptional digital efforts were:

Doing so is considered to be dishonourable and may also result in unfair practices."
