Celebrating Our 5th Year Blogging – Simplified Look and Free Construction Resources

On April 26, 2010        

Happy Birthday to Wolfe Law Group’s construction law blog, the Construction Law Monitor.    To celebrate, we’ve made things a lot better on our site.

We’re now in our 5th year of blogging about construction law issues that matter to contractors, subcontractors and suppliers across the country…and all of our postings and tagging has transformed the Monitor into a leading construction law resource.

To celebrate the milestone, we’ve made things even better.

First, we’ve simplified our design.   Posts on the left, topics on the right, and a search bar at the top.   We’ve even gone through the site and re-tagged and re-categorized each post to make it more intuitive for folks to find posts on-topic.

Second – and we’re most excited about this – we’ve added a Resources Page with free construction law resources.   Highlights of the free Resoucres include:

  • Construction Law Blog Directory.   This is the only directory of construction law focused blogs on the web.  We list them all outright, but also sort and organize the blogs by state and topic (green building v. chinese drywall, for example).   Something missing?   You can add your link to our directory by filling out the form at the bottom of the directory’s page.
  • Avvo Legal Guides and Answers.    Wolfe Law Group participates in the legal Q&A forum and publication of legal guides at the lawyer-rating website, Avvo.com.   We stream those answers and guides to you on the Monitor.
  • Free Forms and Documents.   Powered by JD Supra, we provide visitors with free forms, legal pleadings, and other types of documents.
  • Webinars.   Our webinars and construction law presentations, powered by SlideShare.

Third (and finally), we’ve brought back three Special Feature category of posts:  (1) About our Services; (2) Around the Web; and (3) From the Experts.

We’ll build upon the Resources page as time goes by, and continue posting about important  construction law issues.   You can subscribe the the Monitor by RSS Feed, by following us on Twitter, or liking us on Facebook.

No Need To Become A Fan…Just “Like” Us

On April 21, 2010        

When I logged onto the Wolfe Law Group page on Facebook this morning, I was greeted with a message that the page would no longer have “fans,” but instead would invite users to “like” our practice.   It’s an effort to be more “lightweight” to users, and hopefully, increase a pages fan base. It just might work too.

Before logging into our admin page, I stumbled upon another businesses FB page and saw the “become a fan” button replaced with “like.”. It confused me for a few seconds, but then I just passed it off as someone knowing a little more than me about Facebook, and knowing how to change the call to action on the fan pages.

Low and behold the change was made on my page, too…and system wide.

With all of this said, let’s take this Facebook change our for a spin. No need to become a fanatic for Wolfe Law Group or anything. After all, we’re just a law firm. Borrrr-ing.

But, you can at least like what we do, eh? That ain’t so hard.

Around the Web: Updates on Construction Law and Wolfe Law Group 3/20/09

On March 20, 2009        

Around the web this week, there was a very interesting blog post titled Green Building Is Dead that shook things up in the blogosphere, and Facebook introduced some improvements across its network that inspired an updated Facebook page by our firm.

  • Is Green Building Dead?! A shocking blog title caused a splash on twitter among construction professionals and attorneys.   The original article is here.  Here is some commentary on that article.   Interesting perspective on a growing and controversial industry.
  • Is Arbitration Good Or Bad?  That seemed to be a point of contention in the blogosphere this week, as the 5th Circuit published an opinion holding that “manifest disregard for the law” is “no longer useful in actions to vacate arbitration awards.”   The matter was discussed at the Smooth Transitions blog here.  And Law.com highlighted that there is now a split in the circuits on this issue.
  • Chinese Drywall turns up in Louisiana. Last week, we warned that the Chinese Drywall may reach Louisiana and Washington, and this week local news-stations are reporting that Chinese Drywall is a problem in Louisiana, and that complaints are widespread.  Thus far, Interior Exterior building supply has been identified as a possible local supplier of the drywall.
  • New Facebook Page.   Wolfe Law Group announced that along with the facebook updates, it has a new updated Facebook page.
  • Additionally, Oscar – our office French Bulldog – was featured at USAToday.com this week, when the publication ran a story on pet-friendly workplaces.  See our picture on their website, and the write-up here.
