When to use LinkedIn Groups vs. TIAG/TAGLaw Listserv

The TIAG LinkedIn groups are an ideal place to connect with members or to post articles and items for discussion. However, should you need assistance on a client matter, the best practice for receiving a timely reply is to email the TIAG or TAGLaw listserv of your choice or contact our offices at +1 727 895 3720. Additionally, you can utilize the Find a Firm/Professional features on the TIAG or TAGLaw websites.
