Ethan Wall founded The Social Media Law Firm to protect businesses from the dangers of social media. He has authored six books on the effect of social media on the law, teaches social media law as an adjunct professor of law at Nova Southeastern University College of Law, and serves as a keynote speaker on social media legal issues around the world. He’s also admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. Pretty impressive, eh?
The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce named Ethan Wall the 2016 Entrepreneur of the Year and The Florida Bar named him the 2015 Most Productive Young Lawyer of the Year. CNN, NPR, and Forbes regularly turn to Ethan Wall for commentary on social media legal issues. According to Chambers USA, an international guide that ranks law firms and attorneys, Ethan “has developed legal skills and knowledge that exceed his years of practice.” How flattering.
Someone once said, “Ethan’s legal career has paralleled the explosive growth and development of Facebook, Twitter, and other social media.” Ethan didn’t write this. Neither did his mother. But it does reflect his reputation for recognizing the need for rules of the road as social media continuously expands and becomes more entrenched in the world.
In addition to serving as an advisor to leaders in both the legal and business communities as they seek to implement practical and ethical guidelines in their workplaces, Ethan also founded a social media and digital marketing agency for lawyers and a community service initiative designed to leave the world a better place than he found it. He’s also a Crossfit trainer… so don’t ask him about Crossfit, or he’ll talk your ear off.
