Description
Is a ‘full services’ law firm viable? Can law firms cover every area or do they need to be more strategically focused to be truly successful? How do law firm leaders go about devising a business strategy for the firm in terms of target markets and clients and focusing its resources, business development marketing budgets on these? How do you effectively communicate this to partners and, more importantly, how do you get partners’ buy-in so as to have a collaborative, one firm approach executing this strategy?
