The smaller firms and one of the oldest in New Zealand are leading the Twitter charge while the bigger law firms lag in the rankings here. Among the Big Law contenders, Meredith Connell have 122 followers, Anderson Lloyd 51 and Bell Gully with a lonely 3 (you read correctly).

Bell Gully and others are not alone in the single figures with Sharp Tudhope and Duncan Cotterill are just mustering 7 followers, Hesketh Henry has 9 and a number of significant-sized law practices having no Twitter presence on the platform at all.

Among the large firms Russell McVeagh has around 315 followers and Dentons Kensington Swan have around 300.

Leading the Twitter pack are two IP firms, but three sole practitioners are making their own noises online, excluding Power Tweeter Jeremy Sutton.

As the NZ Law Society recently reported, using Twitter can be an effective way to engage with clients and potential clients, although New Zealand law firms are reasonably slow on the Twitter uptake.

It allows someone to talk about their profession in a more laid-back manner and is also a good way to keep informed about organisations that use Twitter to promote their business.
