The result is a one-of-a-kind road map for growth, which will help lawyers in other fields confidently migrate into mass torts while improving the business operations of those already working in the field. Its central aim is to help readers achieve three goals: Attain personal and financial success in mass torts. Establish one's own enduring legacy in a rapidly changing field. And most importantly, help victims who have been wronged by corporate negligence find equitable justice under the law. Its development has been conceived, spearheaded, and overseen by Jacob Malherbe, the founder and CEO of X Social Media, an influential Inc. 500 company that has revolutionized how mass tort lawyers can use Facebook, social media, and digital TV services to find and sign clients. In recent years, his efforts and advertising platform have helped lawyers find potential new clients at an unprecedented clip while driving down the cost of conversion rates at levels unthinkable even a few years ago. This compendium of knowledge aims to do something equally monumental: create an open-source opportunity for some of the brightest and most ambitious minds in the industry to join the fight in helping everyday victims who need legal assistance the very most. Join us on a carefully curated journey into the history, practice, and future of mass torts.
