The MLF 50/II
Overview
Once again, our readership has requested that we launch a listing of The Top 50 Small to Mid-Size Law Firms in Marketing and Communications. I'm a big believer that many smaller firms can 'do more with less' in terms of marketing dollars. I've seen very inventive and forward thinking marketing strategies come out of some of smaller to mid-size firms, and so for that reason and many others, here is an opportunity for those firms to showcase their marketing and communications strategies. This listing will bring to bear all the achievements of these firms. My hope is that as many firms as are eligible will submit essays so that the listing will showcase these worthy firms.
