Whether you are redesigning your website, changing your brochures, or rewriting some of your advertisements, the one common problem is “who is going to come up with the content?”. The answer, from experience, is most definitely not to ask your fee earners to do it, as they will be better earning fees for you. However, I understand that finding the right legal copywriter is often not easy, but I can help with that.

When you consider that your fee earners can charge in excess of £200 per hour for their chargeable time and partners a lot more, why would you ask them to copywrite your website or advertisement content for you when you can employ a legal copywriter for a much lower cost? It doesn’t make sense does it, especially when you bear in mind that your legal copywriter probably charges a fraction of the cost of your own lost fee earning time.

Where You Need Legal Copywriter Support

There are a large number of areas where you need legal copywriting help, including:

  • Your website (especially if you are running a legal ppc or SEO for solicitors campaign
  • Your weekly blogs and articles
  • Brochures
  • Downloadable ebooks and guides from your website
  • Your client facing documentation (client care letters etc)

Why You Should Engage A Legal Copywriter

The benefits of engaging legal copywriting services are manifold:

  • Speed of creation of copy. A professional copywriter is able to draft excellent legal or law firm marketing copy in a fraction of the time of someone who does copywriting only from time to time.
  • Engagement with your audience. A legal copywriter knows the questions that your ideal prospects are asking because they are writing about them all of the time.
  • Cost. It will be far cheaper to engage some legal copywriter support than it will be to do it all yourself as I mentioned above. Whilst you will incur some expense, if you actually add up all of the time it will take you to do the copywriting yourself you will see that it is not an economical use of your time.
  • It gets done. Whilst you might have the best intentions in the world, if you are tasked with legal copywriting alongside undertaking all of the other tasks you must fulfil whilst running or managing a law firm, often it is the marketing tasks that fall by the wayside. Engaging a legal copywriter will ensure that your content marketing takes place as you intend it to do so.
  • It should pay for itself. If your copywriting is being used to create marketing collateral to promote your legal services, the truth is that it should pay for itself time and time again. This point deserves some more attention, so let me give it its own stage time in the next point.

Legal Copywriters Should Pay For Themselves

I have a saying that I use a lot when talking about marketing legal services:

Marketing Needs Momentum: Perfection Kills Momentum

Solicitors are by their very nature perfectionists, but when it comes to marketing the lifeblood of any successful marketing is momentum. To get results you need to undertake your marketing activities consistently or they have no chance of producing the results that you need.

If you recognise that content marketing is a good strategy for your legal services (which it is for all legal services), then the most important thing is that you create high quality legal content consistently. Not occasionally. You need to add high quality content to your website every week, every month and every year.

If you currently have a blog on your website that regularly brings in new visitors to your site and more importantly, enquiries for your legal services, imagine what would happen if you had 52 of those blogs added every year from this point forwards?

I can tell you what happens because I have clients that do this, they generate substantial volumes of visitors to their websites every month and impressive volumes of enquiries for their services too.

This happens because they outsource their legal copywriting to professional copywriters which means that they receive their new articles on time every time.

To overcome any perfection issues that you might have, my suggested method for ensuring that your content is added to your website consistently, my content marketing plan for you is this:

  • Your legal copywriter writes your content AND adds it to your website so that it goes live sooner rather than later;
  • You can then edit the content live, and knowing that it is on your website provides the urgency that you need to do this quickly;

I have been working with solicitors in my marketing consultancy since 2003, so I know how to put in place systems that ensures their marketing takes place consistently whilst still giving them the control that they like over the promotion of their legal services.

Paul Doran – Doran Law Solicitors

“I went to see Nick in 2012 when I need to drastically change my publicity strategy generally and my website. He gave me a great deal of very wise advice and as a result my turnover has increased considerably. My website was also revamped and this is now regularly at the top of the Google Adwords site resulting in far more enquiries in a week than I previously had in a month! I cannot thank Nick enough for this and will thoroughly recommend his firm to anyone who enquires.”

Martin Smith, Martin T Smith Solicitor

I have worked with Nick for over a year. As well as being a thoroughly nice person to deal with he is also full of good ideas that work – and which can be implemented without costing the earth.

    Case Study

    Now I’ve got eight staff and two offices, and we’ve never been busier.

    I’ve been working with Nick for the last six years, and in that time he’s had a significant impact on my business.

    We first start working together when I worked at an employment law practice, and when I left there to set up on my own, Nick was one of the first people I called.

    I knew that one of the key pieces to get right was the website – in this day and age it’s impossible to run a successful firm without one – and with Nick’s advice, help and guidance, we created our own marketing-focused site that has proven to be the backbone of all the sales and marketing that has followed.

    But a good website means nothing unless people see it, and that’s why we turned to Nick to run our Google Adwords, which quickly became a primary source of leads.

    In addition to running the traffic, Nick held our hand through every element of the client attraction process, from how to communicate with leads, to how to close sales, and the impact that had on our business cannot be understated.

    And that’s why I will always recommend Nick to anyone who needs help with marketing – particularly legal firms: his breadth of knowledge about everything to do with sales and marketing means that he can (and does) help with every part of the picture, resulting in a stronger business than you could have imagined.

    Since we’ve been working with Nick, we’ve grown quickly – back in 2013 it was just myself and my wife, and she was part-time.

    Now I’ve got eight staff and two offices, and we’ve never been busier.

    And if our lead numbers are anything to go by, it’s only going to get better – 2015-2016 saw us get 800 good quality leads in employment law, and that figure more than doubled last year. I can only look forward to more exciting times, working hand-in-hand with Nick to grow my practice and enjoy the fruits that come with that growth.
