What Should Law Firms Post on Social Media in April? Here Are 10 Timely Content Ideas that will keep your firm visible and relevant. April is the perfect time to refresh your content strategy with seasonal topics and national observances that connect with your audience. The key? Knowing what your ideal client needs—and posting with intention. Below, you’ll find 10 content ideas your law firm can use across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Tiktok and even Pinterest.
1. Start of Q2 – Talk Goals & Growth
April marks the start of a new quarter—ideal for sharing your firm’s goals, achievements, or growth plans. Reflect on Q1 wins, new client services, or what’s ahead for your practice. This shows transparency and builds trust.

“Our goal for Q2? Helping more [practice area] clients feel supported and informed. Here’s what we’re focusing on…”
2. Tax Season Tips
Tax Day (April 15) is a great content opportunity, especially for firms handling estate planning, divorce, or business law. Share helpful legal insights that intersect with tax considerations.
Post idea:
