Avvo has a new Legal Community Manager, and her name is Shalini Gujavarty. Shalini and I have two things in common: She is both a lawyer and an ex-Expedian. However, Shalini and I never worked together at Expedia — she was in the supplier relations group being an account manager rather than a lawyer.

Shalini is also taking over the Avvo blog. You will still see Conrad and me posting fairly regularly; but I have been managing the blog for the last couple of months and I was doing it poorly. I was deleting comments, taking too long to get them posted, etc., etc. Hopefully Shalini will be able to give the blog the attention it needs.

Not surprisingly, I am very excited to have Shalini on the Avvo team. Here she is in her own words:

I am originally from New York and began my career as a public interest lawyer working with battered immigrant women. Since relocating to Seattle in 2000, I have worked as a business attorney – working initially in business immigration and then in drafting and reviewing employment agreements, supplier contracts and licensing agreements. As the new Legal Community Manager at Avvo, I will focus on building and developing relationships with lawyers both here in Washington and across the United States. More about me here and please email me with feedback on the site or the blog at shalini@avvo.com.

Welcome Shalini!

Mark
