In this episode of the Un-Billable Hour’s Seat at the Table:

Establishing a brand is one thing, sharing that brand with potential clients who need what you’ve established as a brand – your solutions – is next

It’s easy to waste money on marketing when your efforts are unfocused. Be strategic. Learn from others. What works?

Don’t just pursue all the potential clients in the world, speak directly to the clients you want. The ones who are ready to hire you, not just kick the tires.

Take a “seat at the table,” with host Christopher T. Anderson and guests Rob Leitner, John Reed, Kristen David, and Elliot and Erik Alicea, all experienced pros in building and running successful law firms. In this episode, dig into marketing, the next step once you’ve established your brand identity. How does marketing share your vision and attract the clients you want?

Share how, and why, you and your firm are the solution to your potential clients’ problems. Because that’s what clients want: solutions. As we’ve learned, branding is who you are and what you stand for. But marketing is about connecting with potential clients, sharing that brand, and creating that “Bam, that’s who I want to work with” revelation. 

Learn to connect your value proposition to your target audience. Define your ideal clients, find them, and let them know you understand their situation and can help. Then, after the initial contact, get them in the door and cement that connection.

Avoid wasted effort by connecting your brand to your marketing, making your voice heard and your capabilities recognized. It all has to work together to help you interest, connect with, and land the clients you want.

Strengthening relationships between the bench and the bar is essential to the health of our legal system and the effectiveness of professional collaboration, but achieving that alignment is not always straightforward. Building on their plenary session at the NCBP Midyear Meeting, Judges Bridget Duignan and Ann Keele join us to go into greater depth on strategies for fostering stronger cooperation within bar associations among both lawyers and judges. They emphasize the importance of engaging in bar service as equals, elevating peers into leadership roles, and remaining grounded in the mission and purpose of the association.

Later, drawing on their experiences as women in leadership, Bridget and Ann share their perspectives on the evolving role of women in the legal profession. They reflect on shifting attitudes, and offer practical ways to support and empower women in law. They also provide a thoughtful vision of effective leadership—one rooted in inclusivity, intentional space-making, principled neutrality, and a steadfast commitment to the oath and ideals of the profession.
