Summary

Legal marketing is an ever-evolving process that requires professionals to think outside the box in order to achieve success. It is important to consider new perspectives, create powerful opportunities, and stay ahead of the competition. A legal marketing strategy should be comprehensive and targeted to reach your goals and objectives. Proper planning and research are key to identifying and utilizing the latest trends.


The first step in marketing the legal mind is to create a plan that is tailored to the specific needs of your firm. This includes taking into account the current market, the competition, and ways to increase visibility and engagement. This plan should include digital marketing, public relations, advertising, and content marketing.

The next step is to fully understand the target audience and focus on creating marketing messages that resonate with them. This includes identifying their needs, wants, and values. Then, create content that speaks to them and is tailored to their interests. Additionally, it is important to stay abreast of the latest trends in legal technology, digital marketing, and artificial intelligence to stay competitive.

Another important part of legal marketing is networking and building relationships. This involves establishing relationships with influencers in the legal industry, such as lawyers, consultants, and other people related to law. This will help in gaining exposure and gaining insights from industry experts.

A successful legal marketing strategy should also include content creation. This includes creating blogs, webinars, podcasts, and other forms of content that target a particular audience. It is important to create content that is educational, relevant, and engaging in order to capture their attention.

Finally, it is important to stay ahead of the competition. This means staying up-to-date on the latest legal marketing trends and utilizing them to achieve success. By creating a comprehensive and targeted legal marketing strategy, it is possible to create powerful opportunities for firms and turn new perspectives into success.
 

Marketing the Legal Mind: Turning New Perspectives into Powerful Opportunities

Lawyers have been using a traditional approach to marketing their services for decades. Although the legal industry has evolved significantly over time, the marketing strategies remain largely unchanged. But now, practicing attorneys need to rethink their approach and integrate digital strategies into their plans to remain competitive in the modern world.

The competition that lawyers face has never been higher. As the legal industry grows, new firms are popping up and established firms are setting up shop in the digital space. This means that lawyers have to consider how they can stand out from the competition and differentiate their services by incorporating modern technology into their marketing plan.

The use of technology and digital marketing strategies has become increasingly important in the legal industry, as potential clients begin to search for lawyers on the internet. The use of SEO, PPC, and other digital marketing techniques, along with content marketing, can help attorneys to stay ahead of the competition and reach more potential clients.

Social media is another powerful tool that attorneys can use to boost their visibility and reach a larger audience. By engaging in conversations with a wide variety of people, lawyers can build relationships and networks in their industry, which can lead to referrals and new business.

The key to success for attorneys who want to remain competitive in today's legal industry is to adopt a forward-thinking approach to marketing. By embracing digital strategies and utilizing the latest technology, lawyers can turn new perspectives into powerful opportunities.

<<The book does bear the caveat that it "does not promise to make marketing fast or easy, nor does it promise instant results." The statement is a fair warning, as the connection to marketing at first seems somewhat attenuated. The book is more about changing firm vision by becoming or supporting a fine managing partner. Indeed, a subtitle on the cover, "A Search for Leadership," probably more accurately defines the book's purpose.

A major point of the book is that in order to feel satisfied in their personal lives, attorneys must believe that their professional lives are meaningful. With a firm full of satisfied attorneys, it is easier to conduct business. It is an accurate observation and a goal that eludes many members of the legal profession. It is also an observation that is not new in the realm of self-help for attorneys (see Success Briefs for Lawyers: Inspirational Insights on How to Succeed at Law and Life, published in 2001 by The Vorkell Group); it is just newly framed by Mr. Dahut as an overt marketing strategy.

That said, the book does offer an interesting angle. Make the public more confident, in general, about the character of lawyers, and every firm—under the appropriate leader and charter of goals—will find a service niche and a client base.

The best part about the book is the straightforward quotations from attorneys and clients that yield insight into the vastly different perspectives that arise in the context of any legal matter. Particularly jarring is the comment by a client who, in the midst of a bitter divorce negotiation, was appalled by the attorneys' lighthearted banter among themselves. A great lesson, since attorneys often engage in idle chatter—perhaps oblivious to the result—but a marketing tip? Maybe.

The greatest disappointment about the book is that it does not meet Mr. Dahut's own expectations for improved marketing. He discourages fear-based advertising campaigns as being manipulative, insulting, and detrimental to the legal profession. He particularly highlights the undesirable submessage of many marketing slogans: "If you don't use our firm, you may not have a future." Yet, 75 pages later, he urges the reader to oust all "toxic partners" from his or her firm with the comments: "Remember, keeping the status quo is only an illusion. If you're not moving forward, you're moving backward." Talk about fear-based. And, of course, the best way to insure that your firm moves forward: hire a professional facilitator.

While the fact that the book is written by a professional facilitator may render the reader skeptical, Mr. Dahut does have a point. When it comes to making major changes, particularly regarding issues like marketing, lawyers do seem to become paralyzed. Whether it is because they would rather avoid malpractice in heavy caseloads than ponder the colors of the next firm brochure, or because lawyers, trained in adversity, cannot agree on a uniform tack, lawyers looking to reinvent their firms most likely do need outside help.

For law firms looking to begin a difficult process, Marketing the Legal Mind is as good a place to start as any. It is a quick, easy read (less than 200 pages), peppered with marginally useful graphics and many interesting and insightful quotations. It also ends with a statement that successfully ties marketing into Mr. Dahut's theory of firm reinvention: "marketing can be viewed as the total process by which the firm freely and intelligently chooses what it will ultimately become."
