At the outset, let me say that while I would have liked to get the good counsel of the original advisory group in assisting with the final decision making in compiling the list, as I went through the close to 3 month process of evaluating each firm in order to create the list, it became abundantly clear to me that I needed to be at the helm as to: a) who would be on the list; and b) where each firm would rank on the list.
Substance Over Style As a Winning Combination
It is unfortunate that firms do not fully understand or appreciate the importance of marketing and communications, but nevertheless continue to throw money at their programs without analyzing their needs. The firms that made the list were chosen on the basis of their accomplishments and not as much about their staffing or budgets. While these aspects were taken into consideration, the number of staffers and the budgets did not affect the final listing. Some firms actually do quite a bit more with less staff and less money. As a veteran of law firm marketing and communications, I felt extremely confident in including these firms because I know what they are about and I know their people. The valuation of all the firms is reflective of programs that are differentiators in the world of law firms and in many ways mirror Corporate America's marketing programs. <br/>Some of the more important aspects of several marketing and communications programs that struck a chord as having well thought-out and meaningful programs that provide a glimpse into the substance over style world of law firm marketing and communications programs.
