The Lawyer's Field Guide to
Effective Business Development


A Special Webinar Conducted by Bill Flannery of The WJF Institute



Thursday, July 19, 2007
12:00PM – 2:00PM Eastern Time


In most law firms, partners handle essential business development without the kind of coordination or supervision commonly found in the corporate world. Managing partners often simply leave day-to-day client management to the billing partner. Yet oversight and strategic development of relationships with key clients is essential to law firm survival – and can also prove highly profitable.

This Webinar will discuss the key elements of effective business development, specifically how to start a coordinated business development process, determine its ROI, and grow your firm's long-term profitabililty. Mr. Flannery's insights, drawn from over 40 years of experience working with lawyers, are both practical and achievable.

Topics covered will include:

  • Lessons from the Global 1000 on sales
