Marketing A Solicitors' Practice: Make Sure Your Reception Only Has Your Brochures In It! By: Nick Jervis | - In my travels across the country I visit an awful lot of solicitors' reception areas. I am often amazed that the one area that is completely in the control of the practice, and that is free to use to promote the services on offer, is often completely void of any marketing messages.

Marketing Conveyancing Services For A Reasonable Price By: Nick Jervis | - With threats from the Legal Services Act and so called 'Tesco Law' the reference to price challenges for conveyancers increases every year.

The Publics Of Law Firms By: Alex Murphy | - I recently spoke with partners from two separate law firms about implementing a public relations program.
