Marketing and branding for law firms: beyond positioning

TABLE OF CONTENTS

  1. Shortcomings of a positioning strategy for law firms
  2. Branding: the "house of brands" versus "the branded house"
  3. Branding the law firm through media exposure
 

ABSTRACT

Most business law firms try to differentiate themselves on client benefits that do not differentiate them from the competition. "Positioning" law firms is therefore not the most succesful strategy in the current landscape. Law firms are starting to see the need for branding efforts, although most law firms are locked into a "house of brands" strategy rather than a "branded house" strategy. The author enumerates why more efforts should go to branding law firms through media exposure.
