Legal Industry is Adjusting to New Reality

Michael Bond of Blattel Communications attended the March LMA Bay Area "State of the Industry" presentation. He recently published an article for The Bar Association of San Francisco summarizing what he learned at that informative seminar.

According to Shunk and BTI’s extensive analytics, the industry is adjusting to a new reality. The Great Recession has led to fundamental shifts in company spending for outside counsel. Through 2008, the amount companies budgeted for law firms grew steadily. In 2009, spending dipped dramatically, and today, it is still well below the pre-recession level. Because the legal spend is static, the major driver of new law firm revenue is poaching business from competitors.

Time Waits for No Marketer

Welcome to the New Year!

As I was thinking about the things I would like to accomplish in 2012, 2011 quietly came and went. And so it is we start a new year with fresh projects and ideas but no more time than before to accomplish these goals.

How does LMA solve this dilemma? The most valuable resource LMA offers isn't a Program on Stretching Time or a link to a website that describes Best Practices in Time Management, it's the people you'll meet who've done it before (or are willing to walk through it with you). LMA Members are renowned for our willingness to help colleagues, whether it's sharing a lead on the best place to hold a partner retreat, sending over an RFP template that responds to a particular need or discussing long-term career goals.

As you batten down the hatches on your 2012 New Year's Resolutions, I encourage you to reach out and attend a program or get in touch with an old connection you met at LMA. LMA Membership is only as good as you'll allow it to be and it's my experience that we can accomplish great things together. Here's to making the most of the time we have!

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Best,

Paul
