20 November 2011

Even by Tenandahalf car parking standards last week held a new low. Early for an early afternoon meeting with a major law firm in Birmingham I left the car in what looked like a handy spot ...

No real dramas this month incredibly but if Doug’s coming to see you please don’t watch him park. Not because of the usual reasons (he gets terribly self-conscious going back and forward until he gets the car inside the white lines – that’s standard) ...

Car park news: September #1

25 September 2011

Those who know us will already recognise the drama our pathetic attempts to use the UK's carparks inflicts on our clients, our contacts, our friends and the general public wherever we go. So that everyone can share in our inexplicable inability to park without incident we've decided to catalogue it!

“You can’t market Private Client Law”, Or can you?

16 September 2011

“You can’t market private client law!” Does that sound familiar? At Size 10 1/2 Boots, we’ve spent the last 7 years helping law firms with business development and we tend to hear it a lot. In fact, it’s a statement we hear almost as much as it’s one we disagree with.

While private client law can’t be marketed in the same way as commercial or more specialist lines, it can still be marketed. In fact, it can actually be marketed more effectively and in more innovative ways than its corporate counterpart.

What our clients say about us

Bernard is an expert who knows his subject matter to the extreme. When he speaks you listen because he knows what he is talking about. I would have no hesitation at all in highly recommending him as a person and as someone who can really help you business to grow its sales and increase your profits!
Paul Kincell, President, Chartered Management Institute (Doncaster & Barnsley Branch)

I have an ever growing number of marketing consultants beating a path to my door but what I've found in Courtney Borthwick of Size 10½ Boots is a deep understanding of the fundamentals of legal BD and an uncanny ability to provide insightful advice and add value, every time.
Nick Symington, Business Development Director, Langleys Solicitors

After a rigorous tendering process Size 10½ Boots came out as the obvious choice. Their understanding of our culture, issues, market and direction showed that they had put in the effort. Coming to the end of the first year and we are seeing the results that were promised and a new enthusiasm from the firm to embrace BD. I have no doubt that the investment we have made in Bernard, Doug and the team will be paying dividends for many years to come.
Jason Edge, Head of Marketing and Business Development, Mayo Wynne Baxter Solicitors

Our experience with Size 10½ Boots has been a breath of fresh air and, speaking as someone who would have laughed heartily at the idea of BD training for barristers 3 years ago, I am a convert and looking forward to what we can achieve with our new found direction and approach.
Scott Baldwin, Head Clerk, St Mary's Chambers

Bernard provides refreshingly down-to-earth advice. He was great at demystifying and humanising a series of marketing concepts and giving us practical action plans we could each take away from our training session. The training was lively, productive and fun.
John Haresnape, Head of UK Business Development, Taylor Wessing LLP, Law Firm

We needed to train our lawyers on the art of bringing in new business. Size 10½ Boots designed and delivered a high impact training programme, supplemented by one-to-one coaching for senior managers. The result was to create an energized marketing culture which has had a positive impact on the bottom line just when we needed it.
Mark Johnson, Managing Director, TPP Law
