How Much Do You Really Want To Grow Your Law Firm?

I worked with a solicitor once who was very keen to obtain partnership. In their own words they “would do anything” to achieve this. However, come 5.05pm they were out of the door and did not think about the firm until they returned the next day at 9.05am. Their actions were totally incongruent with their stated intention.

I have since met solicitors who own their own practice who say that they are keen to win new business and increase their profits substantially, but again do not show any sign or take any action aside from that statement to assist their stated intentions. They make the right noises, but they don’t take the action required to make it happen. They do not ‘commit’ to making all of the changes that are necessary to grow their practice. The first obstacle which is put in their way makes them stop stone dead and revert to type.

I understand that one obstacle for solicitors is that often they are keen on the legal work but not so keen on running the business. Michael Gerber gives an excellent insight into this in The E-Myth (if you have not yet read it you really should). He explains that the solicitor (or other professional) is the technician, often falling into running a practice just by being in the firm long enough and not having any interest in actually running the business.

However, until that person manages to make their role dispensable from the business, they can never really achieve the success that they might crave because they will keep getting sucked back into the day to day legal work. I know so very well how true this is. I have worked with so many solicitors who set aside regular time to market their law firm yet let this time be eaten into or completely diminished by client work, staff issues, or even just checking emails.

If you really want to grow your practice, if you really want more clients coming back and using your services time and time again, you have to put in place watertight marketing systems that work with or without your input. It is only then that you can expect to see steady but consistent growth of your practice.

Until then, saying you want more clients will not make it happen. You have to really want and commit to growing your practice, then I can assure you it is almost guaranteed.

So my question to you is this: ‘How much do you really want it?’

I have been working with Nick Jervis for well over a year now.

I am a subscriber to the Marketing for Solicitors Service which has taught me integral techniques and tricks of the trade to grow my firm.

I can honestly say that Nick Jervis taught me a number of techniques that I would not ordinarily have thought of.

I feel that Nick Jervis is essential if you are serious about growing your business.

I would recommend his services to anyone who is serious about growing their firm.

I feel that Nick has totally transformed the way we now think and he is a genius in the world of marketing for law firms.

In my opinion, the consultancy offered by Nick Jervis will drive real value to your business.

As the owner of a small to medium-sized law firm, I have found that Samson Consulting’s Marketing4Solicitors monthly newsletter has proved absolutely invaluable throughout the last three years or so. Of all the marketing advice I’ve had over the years, this has proved by far the best value – bringing us tens of thousand of pounds of extra work every year.

One of the best tricks Nick Jervis [who owns Samson Consulting] uses, is not only to identify the kind of marketing actions a small or medium-sized business can take themselves, but he also explains why it works and most importantly then takes you through, step-by-step exactly what you need to do. As someone who is passionate about growing my business, I really look forward to receiving Nick’s excellent newsletter every month.

It’s worth pointing out that initially I was sceptical about his promises – so many marketing businesses promise the earth. But within a couple of months I was absolutely convinced he was right and I have been hooked ever since.

I recommend Nick Jervis and Samson Consulting without any hesitation whatsoever.

As a medium sized Law Firm we have been dealing with Nick for a good few years now – his assistance and support delivered in a friendly but professional way has been invaluable; added to this, coming from a legal background he has a firm understanding of what solicitors require.

At our initial meeting with Nick he advised on various marketing strategies including simple changes to our website that would enhance traffic to the site.

We are now working on a new marketing project and know, as always, we are in safe hands.

Chris Rennie

Nick takes a no-nonsense approach, cuts the fluff and gets straight to the point – which is an approach that you see very little nowadays in the world of marketing where you have many gurus with complex approach that most probably never work. I look forward to working with Nick.

Tim Weir

Having implemented a raft of improvements to our website and marketing campaigns suggested in Nick’s excellent books, I decided to contact the man himself for a one-to-one discussion.

The thirty minutes spent with Nick on that video call provided me with more business improvement tools than I could’ve hoped for. Nick even took the time to give me some insights on client conversion particular to our area of practice.

Online reviews are often brimming with trite phrases and hyperbole, but I cannot find any other way of saying that my only regret is that I didn’t contact Samson Consulting sooner.
