We can help provide business development training courses for law firms and lawyers. If you are looking for business development training then you’ve come to the right place. Our MD was the head of BD and Marketing for a national law firm based in the UK.

All law firms need strong business development strategies to help them grow, retain clients and improve profit.

Successful law firms have a strong handle on business development. The real driving force behind any business development strategy is the lawyers themselves. Business development training for lawyers gives them the tools to enter into new opportunities to make your law firm successful.

Business development is the process of expanding your firm, entering a new market, or introducing a new service. Business development for lawyers is about keeping current clients satisfied and finding ways to secure new ones. As a lawyer, it is essential for you to preserve strong relationships with your clients to enable cross-selling and develop the skill to attract new ones.

Most lawyers are not natural salespeople, however, with the right training, all lawyers can move up the business development performance curve with training that recognises their unique skills, experience and practice focus.

With our knowledge and expertise of the legal market, our trainers really understand the profession. We offer flexible and bespoke sessions and courses which are a cost-effective way of ensuring that your business development activities maintain momentum.

    What our clients say

    Really enjoyed working with Ben. It’s refreshing to find an SEO consultant who is so passionate about the industry and goes the extra mile for his clients. Ben’s work with me has helped me deliver results for our firm.

    Manjinder Kang

    Solicitor

    I have worked closely with Ben over a number of years to develop and market niche new practice areas and specialisms within the law. Ben is an absolutely outstanding marketer and in particular his knowledge of and expertise in digital marketing is second to none… This led directly to an increase in new enquiries and instructions… This created a “snowball effect” in which those instructions increased our expertise in the field and, as a consequence, our ability to market ourselves and receive further enquiries and instructions. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone.

    Gary B

    Solicitor, Director

    I cannot recommend Ben highly enough. Professional at all times. . . he has been a huge success and made a significant difference to his current firm.

    Maria

    Law Firm Owner

    Ben took part in a business panel at our 2017 Lawshare Conference- Making it Work. . . Ben really impressed the audience with his knowledge of the legal market and was able to pass on practical tips on growing a law firm through marketing. Ben came across as very personable and knowledgeable with a clear passion for what he does! We had excellent feedback from the event and especially Ben’s words of advice.

    Caroline

    Senior Associate Solicitor

    I have worked with Ben professionally for a number of years. He is an extremely talented marketing director with a very broad and deep expertise in all aspects of law firm marketing. His knowledge of online-marketing in particular is second-to-none. I know of few other people as hard-working and dedicated as Ben is. I strongly recommend him for his knowledge, expertise and experience.

    Chris

    Solicitor

    I arranged two webinars through Marketing Lawyers and both were fantastic. . . we received great feedback from our webinars attendees.
