Can lawyers have a TikTok

Can lawyers have a TikTok You will get fired as a lawyer if you post TikToks like this. A junior lawyer made a TikTok about her struggling as a lawyer and then when she refused to take that video down, her law firm fired her. I went back to watch the video because I'm somebody who has to carefully navigate being a corporate lawyer and having a public TikTok account. And despite me agreeing with most of her video, there were certain bits of it that I think that if she just found different language, just worded it more carefully, she would have been safe. And I think it's worth flagging because I see so many great lawyer TikTok accounts. You need to be careful. So number one, be careful with the words you use. It's difficult job, but it's not, you know, it's not sucking money from the partners. Despite what you believe on that, that is not something you should be publicly sharing, especially when clients, perspective students who might apply to the law firm can see it. You don't want to give them much ground to do. So you're talking about. Secondly, are you a lawyer or are you a TikToker? If HR come up to you and remove a video, you need to be willing to remove that video, because your main priority should be being a lawyer. Especially if it's a video that might make the law firm look bad. Thirdly, the law is very conservative, adverse and risk-averse industry. And therefore, there's additional scrutiny that goes on you if you're working for a law firm compared to like other industries, like, you know, food or hospitality. And so just be very what you're sharing, what opinions you're sharing, and how those opinions can be construed. Thirdly, the law is very conservative, adverse and risk-averse industry.
