How can good planning help law firms to stand out, drive revenue & achieve long-term success, asks Ross Faulkner

  • Making the correct branding decisions for your law firm.
  • Understanding your target audience.
  • Pushing for long term sustainable growth.

Having long term sustainable growth sounds great, but often the pressures of the short-term targets can pull our attention away from this, forcing us to chase the figures and targets in front of us.
