Weblogs work for Lawyers Part V: Francis Pileggi, Esq. of Fox Rothschild LLP

In part five of a series of interviews with lawyers who are using blogs we talked to Francis Pileggi author of the Delaware Corporate and Commercial Litigation Blog. 

Q: When and why did you start a blog?

A: I started the blog in April 2005 to provide a forum to publish articles more frequently that I customarily would publish about once a month in other publications, and to share my knowledge and familiarity in my practice areas with more people.   I have given seminars and written articles on corporate law and ethics for many years, and I thought a blog would be a forum that would allow me to provide similar content and reach a broader audience.  

Q: Have you generated additional legal business directly or indirectly related to your blog?

A: The measurement is not precise , but I have had clients indicate that they have seen my blog. It may be similar to writing articles in that it may not be the only thing that makes their decision, but it is part of the mix.

Q: Have any of your peers seen your blog? Do they comment on it? Does the fact that they read it cause you to write differently?

A: My peers have seen my  blog, and because I expected them to see it, I don’t think I write any differently because of it. I assume my peers and many others will read it, so I have had them in mind from the beginning, much like the articles that I have had published over the years.
