building relationships with global general counsel
DESCRIPTION
Acquiring clients – and keeping them – has been the dominant strategy for many law firms in recent years. To better understand how law firms can differentiate themselves from the rest and improve their chances of winning work and retaining clients, Hubbard One commissioned a survey and interviews with more than 40 General Counsel worldwide. The results reveal that law firms must provide targeted content and experience, at more regular intervals and via diverse communication channels if they are to build strong relationships with General Counsel and achieve reputations that stimulate firm growth. During this webinar, Jen Bullett and Kalev Peekna hold an in-depth discussion of the survey results. Watch to discover ways your firm can use targeted content and experience to win and retain business with global General Counsel.

50% GCs work with

37% of GCs working
with 30 or more
law firms.
A law firm’s expert knowledge of their company’s sector/industry and
their legal experience are of greater importance to GCs than
competitive and flexible prices.
Reputation in the marketplace is crucial as most GCs ask for
recommendations and referrals from trusted sources when looking to
select a law firm.
When it comes to law firm websites, GCs prioritize the ability to gain
access to relevant information in a quick and straightforward
manner.
In order to provide GCs with relevant information, law firms will need to
convince them that content individualization is neither a waste of
time, nor a risk to privacy.
Law firms will miss out on opportunities if they fail to actively engage
with underutilized and undervalued communication channels such as
social media and extranets.
