Below is what some past participants have to say about this program. Click here to read more reviews.


"Of all the law firm marketing programs I have ever been to, this one was by far the best. I came away with new ways of thinking, approaches and tons of new ideas that have been extremely useful to my department and our firm. Many of the things I learned have already resulted in new revenues. I recommend this program highly for any firm interested in taking their firm’s marketing efforts, department and results to the next level."

– Megan Propp, former Director of Business Development, Steefel Levitt & Weiss, San Francisco


"In my view anyone working to enhance their law-firm marketing or business development efforts should not miss this program! It is tailored precisely for lawyers and law firms, and is led by an attorney with over 25 years of proven success and solid relationships with buyers in the legal sector. I’ve participated as a presenter in this program as in-house counsel, and gained extremely useful insights as a result of this experience."

– Thomas J. Ball, General Counsel & Secretary, Nasdaq®-traded IT services company,
