The ten best law firm page posts of Q2 2026

5were about people: promotions, a new senior partner, and two OBEs

3were about mergers

0were legal updates or insight pieces

Firms publish thousands of articles, briefings and updates on their LinkedIn pages. None of them made the top ten. What people engaged with was news about people and the firm itself: who's been promoted, who's been honoured, who's merging. It's the same pattern we see in our rankings of individuals, where good news about people is the best-performing kind of post.
