Law firms intent on branding themselves around their community, culture and clients are missing an opportunity to tap into a base of users that's 700 million strong—and growing.
By Jeffrey Sussman | August 29, 2017
Jeffrey Sussman writes: Too many attorneys do not let the world know of important cases they have won, of successful deals they have negotiated, or challenges to judicial decisions that may result in new precedents. Such accomplishments should be touted not just to the legal community, but also to spheres of influence that can enhance one's professional reputation.

Law firms, regardless of size, are usually composed of many departments, each responsible for contributing to the firm's success. Whether that is a single administrator who handles the marketing or a firm that has an entire department of people, the marketing side usually cannot function without the assistance of the legal side. When it comes to promoting your firm's success, or ensuring your lawyers are known thought leaders in their fields, your firm's marketing professionals become an integral part of your team. Creating brand awareness and reputation for the firm, as well as setting the framework for effective business development for each practice group is essential to your firm's success. However, this only happens when there is a productive and mutually respectful relationship between marketers and their lawyer colleagues. Establishing this dynamic can often be challenging until the marketer builds a rapport with your team of attorneys which, like any good relationship, takes time and requires an open line of communication.

Unfortunately, corporate clients are impatient and are beginning to push harder for improved efficiency and increased speed of service delivery.
