NW law firms make Twitter top 10

THREE North West law firms have been named in a top 10 list of the most influential Twitter users in the legal profession across the country.

JMW Solicitors, Ralli Solicitors and Ascroft Whiteside all feature on the list based on an analysis of the Twitter streams of the most active 800 law firms nationwide.

The list, compiled by Manchester-based online marketing firm I-COM, uses scores provided by Klout.com, a website that rates Twitter users according to engagement, influence and audience size.

It shows that the top 10 interact on Twitter more often than other law firms and have more people following and sharing their tweets.

Mike Blackburn, operations director of I-COM, said: “The North West business community as a whole is very active on Twitter and we know that some law firms in the region are leading the way.

“It’s not just marketing and digital companies that have spotted the business opportunities that come from engaging with influencers and potential clients on the social network.”

1. Woolley & Co (South West)
