So you’re ready to market your law firm? You’re 100% prepared to increase your law firm’s brand awareness! You’ve got the budget, the right staff, you’ve got the fortitude, but unfortunately … you have no idea how to get started.
Well, the good news is, there isn’t a magic bullet to marketing and advertising because if there were, everybody would be using it. Thusly, any “magic-bullet-marketing” tactic would cease to be magic because it would be commonplace. This fact brings us to the heart of what effective marketing and advertising mean for your law firm – the goal is to get noticed.
The bad news when it comes to choosing which marketing and advertising strategy is best for your law firm is, and I hear lawyers say this A LOT to their own clients, “it depends.”
As a former law firm marketing director, and now as a content strategist here at Consultwebs, I’ve experienced both sides of the legal marketing dilemma. Here are my five tips on building awareness for your law firm:
(1.) Discover what your brand is.
Everyone thinks they know what their law firm’s brand is, and I hate to tell you, you probably don’t. Your brand is not a logo. Your brand is not the slogans you came up with in a meeting with shareholders. Your brand isn’t based on your love of tigers, sharks, or bulldogs, and it isn’t what you “stand for.”
Your actual brand is defined by the client experience at your firm.
Your brand is what your clients say about your firm.
Every lawyer knows the importance of word-of-mouth referrals. Indeed, they are cited as the number one driver of new business.
However, very few lawyers do the necessary work to capture what those mouths are actually saying. Why did they refer you specifically? What was it about the experience at your firm in particular that made the referral feel necessary?
Many highly successful law firm owners have tapped into a formula for rapid growth that doesn’t depend on innate talent for marketing or take years of expensive trial and error. And it isn’t based on finding the perfect Vender offering the golden egg of market domination.
Their secret is actually simple-

The Big Marketing Lesson from the Pesky Ducks in our POOL
By Tiana Hinnant-Hardison
Right now, it’s war at our house. Period. It’s us against the ducks. Ducks are sweet looking. Ducks are cute- when they’re swimming in ponds at the park- or waddling across the road. They make us feel warm and fuzzy- until they’re swimming in your pool.

Law Firm Outsourcing with Virtual Assistants is a hot topic in 2022 for law firm owners all across the country. Some lawyers swear by it while others shun the idea altogether. Is Virtual Assistant outsourcing right for your firm?
First – let’s start with the misnomer – Virtual Assistants aren’t limited to off-site legal assistants.
The term encompasses any off-site or offshore contractors hired to provide services for your firm that had traditionally been performed in-house. This could include a litany of activities, from answering the phones, handling intake screening, medical records retrieval, or even traditional paralegal and attorney services such as case prep, drafting or responding to discovery, drafting documents, and performing legal research.
