This is law your way.

Networking & Social
My Business Counsel is a busy practice, and despite our lawyers working hard at business development and their own fee earning work, we certainly make time to get together every few months for a networking afternoon. These networking afternoons are held at the Hilton Skylounge in London and offer the legal team an opportunity to meet other colleagues as well as have a break from their work for a few hours.

Marketing & Business Development
My Business Counsel’s marketing and business development efforts are echoed by the fact that competition continues to grow in the legal industry. However, clients are more and more warming to working with alternative dispersed practices such as My Business Counsel. When a new lawyer joins the team, our Marketing team will work with the lawyer to have a business development session to understand what the lawyer wishes to achieve in terms of marketing and what the target client base is for his/her work.
At My Business Counsel marketing and business development support includes drafting your website profile, updating your LinkedIn profile, legal directory submissions where possible and understanding your marketing goals.
