Branding

He quickly dispenses with "big, new ideas" and the voguish abstract conceptualisation that apparently establishes a law firm's brand via bold and essentially incoherent association with nature or art. He then discusses two costly and ironic marketing mistakes he has observed:

  • Selecting a font which is so non-standard that outsiders (clients, vendors, etc.) cannot view it on their computers.
  • Implementing a brilliant new recruiting campaign which attracts mainly the sort of attorney the firm does not want.
He feels that law firm branding is largely a waste of time and energy and that a law firms "true brand" is its hard earned reputation based on experience, usefulness, steadiness and client focus. Firms have many other cheaper, more efficient ways of promoting themselves. A good, focused, and informative website which distinguishes ones firm and the services it offers from other firms is one way. Customer relationship management (CRM) programmes and good PowerPoint presentations are others.
