When I think about all that SCG Legal PR Network has managed to provide, it's hard to believe it has only happened in one year," said SCG Legal PR Network Founder Paramjit L. Mahli. "Joining the right lawyers with the right members of the press was not always so streamlined. SCG Legal PR Network's database of legal experts continues to grow throughout the country."

Within its first year, SCG Legal PR Network has received over 160 international television and print press requests from media such as Associated Press, Bloomberg, Reuters, Guardian UK, CNN and many more. Thirty percent of SCG Legal PR Network's lawyer members who have been contacted by the press have been interviewed twice or more within the first year.

Google has become the first point of reference, and this is precisely where building your leadership as an expert is critical. Services provided by businesses such as SCG Legal PR Network are invaluable. Very affordable for firms starting PR."
