What Clients Want from Law Firms

Research shows that most lawyers think they know what their clients want - but their clients don’t always agree. How can lawyers and their firms truly understand the client perspective. How can they know what their clients are really asking for. What do lawyers need to know in order to get - and stay - hired. What Clients Want from Law Firms combines the collective perspectives of clients in order to focus the lawyer’s mind on their end goal - providing a service that people want and will pay for. Exploring dynamic new approaches to the client-lawyer relationship, the contributors take on topics as broad as ESG, diversity, ethics, and AI, revealing what clients really want from law firms. Written from the perspective of those who engage law firms in their business - and from sectors as diverse as banking, sport, and entertainment - this book explores the importance of client relationships, listening and understanding problems, and what clients really want from their trusted advisors.
