“Working as a key part of the launch campaign for LawCloud, the implementation and development of  a social media strategy has done a great job of boosting LawCloud’s online presence and has allowed us to make connections with parts of the legal market in the UK which would otherwise not have been possible through the more traditional forms of marketing.  It has proved to be a useful complement to the LawCloud website, email distribution list and events, such as the launch event at Microsoft’s offices in Edinburgh. We have been told we are now leading the way for cloud computing for law firms in Scotland and continue to make useful connections and develop business in England.” Warren Wander, Managing Director, LawCloud Limited
