Do law firms still have a love-hate relationship with technology?
Monday, 19 November 2018Law firms are not famed for their technological proficiency.

Why are law firms still so bad at sales?
Wednesday, 27 September 2017How good are law firms at communicating with their clients? It’s a deeply intriguing question which has certainly given us pause for thought; and inspires us to conduct our secret shopper research each year.

Although our research found some progressive firms, these are in the minority; the sales function must be an integral part of the modern law firm if it is to survive and compete with them. So how come law firms still don’t have effective sales communications?
