Brand drives hiring decisions and access to premium rates. With less than half the market able to identify a single differentiating characteristic of top law firms, it’s no wonder rate pressure and competition are rampant.
Your brand can vault you to the short list of legal providers or land you in the discard pile.
Just 9 factors are proven to break through the noise and elevate a firm’s brand and positioning with legal decision makers. While many law firms can deliver on 1 or 2 of these elements, the BTI Brand Elite 26 are the law firms excelling in nearly all of the 9 factors.
The BTI Brand Elite 26 are creating the standard by which other law firms are measured. These firms have proven their ability to:
- Gain bet-the-company status
- Innovate in an industry often criticized for clinging to old-school approaches
- Earn premium rates – despite the flat market
