Videos are playing an increasingly important role in website interaction and engagement. Assuming you have a good foundation laid for getting your site found, adding video to the mix is a great idea. I've collected a few resources to help you get started.
You'll want to make sure that if you create a video, you say something worthwhile. Teach your audience something about your field of expertise. Make your video knowledge-based and educational as opposed to simply an advertisement for the firm. You'll also want to keep your videos short, between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. It's also important that you don't just push out "amateurish" videos as this will mostly likely hurt more than it helps. That being said, if you aren't ready to invest in a professional video, there are a couple of options to pursue.
Screen Capture - The Jing Project is a free service that will allow you to capture your computer screen as you speak into a mic. You could put together a power point presentation for instance and create a 2-3 minute video.
Animoto - Animoto uses your existing stills, background music, video, etc. to create very professional looking videos. They have both a free and a paid option depending on what you are looking for.

Meh, links! All things being equal, links still tend to move the dial more than any other factor in legal SERPs. Maybe links are having a diminishing impact internet-wide.
