Why sell the very building upon which your business was built? Many will see selling your offices as an act akin to selling the business itself, with so much history and expertise embedded in every wall. The answer is a simple one and cited at an increasing rate; the good old-fashioned sale and leaseback scheme unlocks the value in your property.

'Differentiate or Die', marketing guru Jack Trout warned in the title of his seminal work on how to survive in 'our era of killer competition'. Trout is more associated with putting consumer brands on the map than he is with making law firms stand out from the crowd, but many of the rules he establishes translate to the profession. A law firm has to offer something unique if it is to attract and maintain business in a competitive marketplace, and then ensure it communicates that unique selling point - its differentiator - as effectively as possible. This article is not so much concerned with a law firm's differentiator per se, but more about how firms can use their websites to differentiate effectively.

Oscar Wilde described a cynic as a 'man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing'. Unfortunately for Oscar, the IT industry, and its customers, that cynicism is fairly widespread, most notably when it comes to developing relationships between vendor and buyer.

A partner from a 'big four' accounting firm hired one of us (Andrew Bass) to work with some of his senior managers on a one-to-one basis. He explained: "I have some really bright guys who have succeeded throughout their lives by being excellent at technical things. And that has got them as far as one level below partner. But then one day they started coming in and they were not standing so tall; in fact, they were dead worried. Because they had just realised they have not been commercial enough and that they therefore are a long way from making the case for partnership. They are used to succeeding but now they are stuck and cannot make any further progress by doing what they have done to succeed before."

On average, the dollar has demonstrated significant weakness against the pound over the past three years. Comparing the spot rate in December 2005 to December 2006, the exchange rate declined by 14%. Not surprisingly, and particularly for US law firms with operations in the UK, these changes have presented significant operational challenges and some perception management challenges, especially when reporting results to legal publications in the UK and Europe.

The development of a top-tier New York-based, US M&A practice is central to the strategy of Clifford Chance (CC). Deals involving a US company accounted for more than 40% of global M&A activity in 2006 and the total value of US M&A transactions grew faster than the rest of the world. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2007, it seems likely that activity will, if anything, escalate as there has already been a significant number of US mega-deals and the increasing cross-border nature of US M&A will continue.
