These firms are making a bet.
They are betting investments in client service in a perceived fragile market will deliver immediate and lasting value — both strategic and financial.
Only 64 law firms managed to improve client service performance in 2024 — according to corporate counsel. This equates to just shy of 10% of all law firms. And client service still remains the biggest differentiator among law firms.
One key driver — corporate counsel have new roles and responsibilities. They don’t announce their new goals — they simply change their behavior. Only the firms with keen institutional eyes and ears pick up on these new objectives. These 64 firms are amping up on both counts.
Please join me in congratulating the most improved law firms in client service performance for 2024:
