Today was my turn to give the “10 minute” presentation at the B4-9 breakfast networking group in Welwyn Garden City. I try and get along most weeks because it’s a very active group, the company is good and, most importantly, the breakfasts are excellent!
The purpose of the “10 minute slot” is for members to profile themselves and their businesses. I talked about how most people don’t know what solicitors do, what my firm does and how we try to help our clients, as well as some very basic background on employment law. For those who couldn’t make it or couldn’t take notes, click here for my Powerpoint presentation, courtesy of Slideshare. If anyone needs further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
I recently read a post on The Client Revolution, a US blog, called “What lawyers can learn from an Office Depot Commercial”. It’s about how small law firms can compete with larger businesses, not by trying to compete on price, but in other ways, namely quality of work. The post is well worth a read, and the You Tube video beneath is the one that Jay Shepherd, the author, refers to. Next Tuesday I am speaking at Gateway Media’s workshop on “Combating Tesco Law” and this advert strikes me as containing a very useful example of how firms can strike back at bigger competitors.
In my day job I am a Partner in the above firm. We have recently relaunched our website and have started a Dale Langley blog. Initial comments have been favourable. I have just posted an article on a case concerning compromise agreements and why you should not delay in negotiating the terms or signing off. Please click here to go to the article.
I have also written on compromise agreements and what they are before – click here to read more.
