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.

Management guru and author Peter Drucker said, 'If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.' So why is it that so few law firms measure their marketing efforts? Why is it that so many CMOs that are getting hammered by partners to demonstrate ROI on their efforts can't do it?
