Paul lands top spot among legal ‘LinkedInfluencers’ as fellow Dutton Gregory colleagues rise the ranks

Dutton Gregory has been on the social media ball this year as the firm and its staff come out strong in TBD Marketing’s latest LinkedInfluencer report.

Paul Sams, who stepped up as managing partner this April, has secured the number one spot among the UK’s legal leaders with a power score of 5,011 – up from 25th place last quarter.

The firm also has a further three top 100 contenders in Jonathan Whettingsteel, Alex Gregory-Chialton, and Tim Waldron.

Paul said: “I was delighted to see Dutton Gregory recognised so prominently in the LinkedInfluencer report.

“Our approach to LinkedIn has certainly raised our profile and given us a platform on which to stand alongside the big players in the legal profession.

“The collective efforts of our team on LinkedIn – Jonathan, Alex, Tim, and many others – has been nothing short of remarkable.

“This recognition provides the inspiration to maintain our enthusiasm, momentum and trajectory.”

It also places Eastleigh-headquartered Dutton Gregory among heavyweight legal firms like Hogan Lovells, DLA Piper, Clifford Chance, A&O Shearman, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Mishcon de Reya.

Simon Marshall, founder of TBD Marketing, added: “Dutton Gregory’s impressive performance in this quarter’s report sets a benchmark for others in the legal industry.

“Paul has led the charge by example, and this sensational achievement highlights his influence within the firm and the wider legal community.

“Dutton Gregory has proved how engagement through LinkedIn can prove to be a great equaliser in its profession, giving its brand the voice and opportunity of any other firm.

“Congratulations to the whole team! We look forward to watching the team continue to go from strength to strength.”
