Clients have more choices than ever when it comes to legal services, and the firms that actively listen and respond to their needs set themselves apart. Too often, law firms collect feedback but don’t do much with it. A survey here, a casual check-in there – but if nothing changes, clients notice. Real growth comes from taking feedback seriously, using it to improve service offerings and showing clients that their input matters. Firms that do this well strengthen relationships, build trust and create long-term loyalty. Here’s how to make client feedback a real driver of your law firm’s success.

Too often, firms rely on referrals, respond to RFPs and wait for opportunities instead of actively creating them.

The firms that thrive are the ones that prioritize business development and marketing as a core part of their strategy – not as an afterthought.

Legal marketers are often seen as behind-the-scenes contributors, managing events, updating websites, doing pitches, client targeting and creating marketing collateral. However, legal marketers are uniquely positioned to drive both marketing and business development efforts that directly contribute to revenue growth. With the right mindset and strategy, marketers can move beyond support roles to become indispensable business enablers.

By placing its lawyers on non-profit boards, law firms can offer their expertise to organizations in need while strengthening their reputations as socially responsible leaders. Here’s why this is a great idea for law firms and how to implement it effectively.
