Marketing for the legal profession – marketing legal practices more effectively

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Marketing for the legal profession – it is important to market legal practices effectively in the future. With the legal market being deregulated in 2010, legal practices are starting to become more aware of the need to embrace marketing techniques and tools in order to grow in the future.

 

Perhaps we could be faced with the prospect of Virgin Legal ! Who knows ?! But this is something completely unthinkable 15 years or perhaps even 7 years ago. A client (or will they be called customers ?!) will be able to pop into Tesco for a bit of advice on their terms of employment with their shopping in hessian bags (of course) beside them !

 

For those of you partners in legal practices, practising law dealing with family law, contract law, employment law, company law, conveyancing, and other aspects of both civil and criminal law – these may well be interesting times.

 

But the challenge is of course for law firms and practices to implement their marketing strategies professionally. All communication must be accurate, caring and perceptive.

 

I suspect that most managing partners will not want to see their practices turn into something akin to the ambulance chasers we’ve imported from the States. Let me know what you think. I know that this is a hot topic for legal firms at the moment, because a few have spoken to us already about it.

 

Marketing for the legal profession is going to be a key part of their future development.

There will be 3 guest presenters all experts in their field. Will Hawkins from MMT Digital will tell you how to get the most out of your website to make sure that people find you and not your competitors. Follow the link to  http://www.mmtdigital.co.uk/RVE6a6413e6e94644d9a2f44f4250586398,,.aspx to read more about Will’s specialist skills. We are also pleased that Lloyd Stubbs from Taxassist accountants http://www.taxassist.co.uk/lloydstubbs/ who will pass on his expertise on how to ensure you manage your cashflow which is of course critical to the long and indeed short term survival of your business.

Andrew Seaward will also be running a presentation on how to use the telephone to build more effective customer relationships over the phone. Getting more customers and keeping the ones you already have is even more important now than in the recent past perhaps.

For all business leaders in Grantham, Peterborough, Leicester, Oakham, Uppingham, Stamford, Market Deeping and wider parts of Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire who have an interest in this seminar, just post a reply here.
