Number Of Law Firms In The UK 2012

Every year the Law Society publishes its survey results detailing the number of law firms still braving the big world legal services world out there.

Despite all of the usual doom and gloom, the figure for the survey taken at 31 July 2010 is 10,413, a slight increase on 2009.

For my part, this is not really a surprise. I am constantly approached by solicitors looking to set up a new law firm, and many of them are incredibly optimistic. I think they have good reason to be too.

I work with independent law firms across the UK, and all of them are thriving. They grow year on year. They are profitable. They provide an excellent service. Clients like them, and return to use their services again and again, because they all have at least a monthly email legal newsletter which goes out to their growing client database.

The number of law firms in the UK has risen again, and I see no reason why it shouldn’t continue to do so for years to come, if the business owner understands that their legal marketing skills are as important as their legal services skills (if not more), they will attract as many new clients as they need to be profitable.

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.

Iain MacDonald

Less than a year ago I asked Nick to help me grow our practice by making the telephone ring.

He’s certainly done that and much more.

The improvements are incredible and Nick has guided me through the many challenges of scaling up, not least the need for a client focused approach.

This has allowed me to start the next phase; organising the practice to ensure a better lifestyle balance for all of us, whilst we continue to grow.

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.

Nick is a fountain of knowledge, tried and tested personally. He has that rare gift of not making you feel daft for asking any question. After our consultation I felt far less like a rabbit in the headlights and far more empowered to climb the marketing mountain successfully.
