Paul Brennan - Speaker   

How to make a funny legal presentation ....and other things they did not teach you at law school

An ancient Chinese proverb says “- A man can wait long time before crispy fried duck flies off plate into open mouth”. 

Whether you are a sole practitioner having a slow day, a junior lawyer vying for partnership or a partner trying to hang onto it- you need to let people know you are there.   If you have the time Rotary, committees and associations are excellent tried and tested methods.  If you don’t have time (and few people seem to nowadays) then an alternative is speaking, radio, legal columns, newsletters, interviews, events, TV, books and other ways of “getting yourself out there”.

Paul Brennan is a practising lawyer but also a author, legal cartoonist and known as a funny public speaker. 

This lively interactive session will give you useful tools that you can use right away to increase your profile.

MORE DETAIL

Peter Owen executive Group Editor of APN Newspapers said “Lawyers - like financial planners, relationship counsellors and chiropractors – always tend to think their prose is purple and their content compelling. In truth, they usually offer little more than boring plugs for their own business”. 

You see this is not just a lawyer problem, chiropractors have it too.

For a busy partner there is some satisfaction in hiring a marketer, telling them to get on with it and then complaining when the clients do not line up outside.  Marketing Departments are also an excellent source of people to lay off during cost cutting exercises.  However promotion even with a full team is a DIY job and needs to be driven by the lawyer if it is to build his or her own profile.   

You will learn how to:

• Give a legal speech which relates to the audience.
• Get copy in the media by writing and promoting a press release.
• Become a radio legal eagle.
• Write a newspaper column.
• Become a resource for Journalist's to gain more interviews.
• Writing a book.
• Getting on TV.
• Writing a blog.

You do not need to be adapt at all these things but even one could make a difference to your practice.

Paul Brennan can tell you what has worked and what hasn't worked for him.  This can save you time, money and effort.
