#familylawtweetup

Family Law Event attracts over 60 family law Tweeters

On Thursday 19 April 2012 the first ever family law tweet-up took place at One Alfred Place, a private members club in the heart of London’s West End, attracting over 60 family law tweeters from all over the UK. Organised by North-East family law specialists, Major Family Law (@majorfamilylaw) and sponsored by LexisNexis (@LexisNexisUK), the purpose of the event was to bring together Twitter users to meet “in the flesh” and to discuss family law issues.

Geraldine Morris, Head of LexisPSL Family at LexisNexis (@geraldinemorris), said: “LexisNexis publishes an extensive range of family law online and print content making sponsorship of the first family law tweet up a natural partnership. The event was a great opportunity to share ideas and knowledge and I’m delighted that it was a huge success.”

An early adopter and advocate of social media in customer engagement in the North-East, Major Family Law were keen to promote networking and collaboration between family law practitioners.

Elaborating on her address at the event, founder and principal solicitor Joanne Major said: “At Major Family Law, we aim to be as innovate and modern as possible in our approach. Twitter is an increasingly rich source of important family law news, an opportunity to learn, and a great way to get input into thorny legal issues. We are very pleased with the success of this flagship event, and look forward to seeing more take place.”
