Service provided: positioning and profitability, submission support
Law Business has helped us to rise in Chambers and to enter the Legal 500 for the first time. The Law Business team was always very professional throughout the entire multi-year support, we were always asked politely but firmly to meet the feedback deadlines - I think without this externally controlled discipline it would have been far more difficult to gather the necessary data at all. In this phase, Law Business also helped us a lot in that they always told us very clearly what information was needed for a successful submission. Later, we also received interview coaching for discussions with the Law Business rankings.
In 2018, Mr. Gendlin also advised us on our strategic positioning as a law firm. It was very valuable to receive a reflection on our individual and common goals from a knowledgeable, external industry expert. In the course of the positioning process, we were therefore also able to develop corresponding positioning proposals together with Mr. Gendlin. It is true that you can only take a step once you know where you stand and where you want to go. We were able to implement this approach very professionally with Mr. Gendlin.
I can therefore recommend Law Business without exception. You can tell that the team has many years of experience; this is simply the market leader at work.

I can recommend the training and Law Business to every law firm.
GERMAN BAR ASSOCIATION
German Bar Association, Working Group on International Business Law
Law Business has supported the law firm in the following areas: IWR Camp No. 3 – two-day seminar on acquisition/sales skills for lawyers and price negotiations for legal services.
Services provided: Sales coaching & training for partners and lawyers
The 3rd IWR Camp was also a great success. Younger colleagues, but also “old hands”, a total of almost 50 participants were once again enthusiastic about a legal “teach-in”, this time on the topic of “Acquisition - Sales Skills for Lawyers”. Under the excellent guidance of Alexander Gendlin, the participants worked directly in small practical working groups, directly processing the content they had previously acquired and implementing it with excellent professional guidance. As co-organizer, I asked all participants to evaluate the event and received positive feedback without exception. Everyone thought the seminar was excellent from a technical point of view and - despite the digital format - was enthusiastic about the organization and division of knowledge transfer and direct practical application. Many participants praised Mr. Gendlin's confident presentation and his competent and understandable manner. We can unreservedly recommend Mr. Gendlin here: he knows the subject matter and the legal market inside out and knows how to convey this content in a first-class manner and motivate the participants to actively participate throughout - he is the first point of contact in the market for this area.
This seminar was profitable in the truest sense of the word.
The systematic examination of this essential topic in role plays and presentations was instructive, goal-oriented and provides an impetus to rethink internal processes. The open, constructive and very active exchange among the participants also brought great added value.
Consulting is difficult - but so is selling your own services!
The 3rd IWR Camp had an experienced coach in Alexander Gendlin, who familiarized the participants with sales models and had them experience various sales situations and conversations in role plays.
It became clear that giving advice is difficult - but so is selling your own services! Lawyers do not have access to “sales teams” like other sectors, often do not focus professionally on their counterparts or give too much away too quickly (in the truest sense of the word). Even if you hand out money for marketing with a watering can by blindly placing ads once or twice a year, you won't get very far. So how do you approach fee issues, sales talks and cost topics correctly and professionally? Conclusion after 1.5 days: The systematic examination of this essential topic in role plays and presentations was instructive, goal-oriented and provides an impetus to rethink internal processes. The open, constructive and very active exchange among the participants, who came from a wide variety of law firms and practice areas, also brought great added value. This seminar was profitable in the truest sense of the word.

Mr. Gendlin supported me in the area of structured client acquisition (searching for potential clients, creating and sending pitches). The process for identifying and contacting new salary targets was redesigned and operationally supported. As a result, the sales process was institutionalized and functioned more effectively.
I am very happy to recommend Mr. Gendlin's expertise in this regard. Any law firm that wants to get more out of its own sales efforts and professionalize its own sales efforts can definitely benefit greatly here.
Law Business has supported us for over 2 years in the area of business development and marketing - especially with directories & rankings. We were very satisfied with the performance of Law Business and were able to improve our ranking work during this time.
Mr. Gendlin knows the legal industry extremely well and is highly valued by the rankings as a cooperation partner. I can definitely recommend Law Business to others.

Alexander Gendlin guided me through this process with great professional and personal competence and you can tell that he has been working in the industry for a very long time. In the end, my law firm had a positioning that was more precisely tailored to my services and easier to understand, as well as a marketing plan to match.
In addition, I worked with Alexander Gendlin to restructure the content of our law firm website - this also reflected the sharpened positioning. I can recommend Alexander Gendlin and Law Business without reservation, as a law firm partner you simply have a contact person at eye level.

KANZLEI DR. BETTINA HÖRNER

Service provided: Submission Support
Law Business has supported my law firm in its work with rankings. As an individual lawyer with a special combination of legal and business services due to my previous activities, it has been a great help for me to be able to draw on Law Business' extensive know-how in ranking processes and to outsource most of the ranking work.
The support was very competent and, above all, completely tailored to my requirements. You don't buy a “one-fits-all” standard consultancy here - Law Business has tailored the services and work processes to my individual requirements and consultancy services as a boutique law firm. This is also reflected in the result of our work: I am now ranked in Chambers for the first time, even as “just” a sole practitioner with a niche business model. I can therefore highly recommend Law Business to all sole practitioners.
KIEHL law firm for commercial law
KIEHL law firm for commercial law (http://www.kiehl.cc/)
Service provided: positioning and profitability
Law Business initially carried out a re-sharpening of the firm's positioning for my law firm. A profitability analysis was carried out with the aim of determining which services are suitable for which target groups.
Sales and marketing measures were then defined based on the new positioning. The new positioning helps me to focus better on my target groups.
Before I engaged Mr. Gendlin, I had already been working on these issues myself for some time, but was unable to make progress because I lacked the right sparring partner. I am convinced that such a project is hardly possible without the input of an objective third party. You simply need someone like Mr. Gendlin, who knows the legal market very well and can guide you objectively through the difficult issues of such a process.
Of course, it also helps enormously that Mr. Gendlin has already carried out such processes several times and therefore always asks the right questions. The sales and marketing measures must also be defined carefully, as the legal sector simply has very specific requirements.
I can only recommend any law firm to work with Mr. Gendlin, the positioning helped me a lot.
Kutzenberger Wolff & Partner
Service provided: Submission Support
In order to strengthen our international contacts and present our expertise to an even wider circle of potential clients, we have decided to participate in law firm directories. The complexity and time required for such a submission should not be underestimated. We therefore opted for professional support in the form of complete support from Law Business right from the start.
We have now been ranked for the first time in both the Legal 500 and the IAM 1000! This is something that law firms only rarely achieve; as a rule, you have to submit at least two, if not three times to be included in a directory from zero.
Of course, these successes speak for the quality of our work. But having a high quality of advice and presenting it to Directories is not the same thing. We saw this especially during the submission process.
We were therefore extremely pleased with these successes and would like to thank Law Business for their great support! We can therefore highly recommend Law Business to any law firm - you can't go wrong by choosing Mr. Gendlin and his team.

Service provided: positioning and profitability
The strengths of Law Business lie in the individual, personal service that has earned my law firm great attention in various print media.
Lawyers do not usually have the necessary PR contacts to present their successes to the public in a timely manner. There are often no time resources for marketing issues. Law Business picks up on issues that are of interest to the public and places them in the right media.

I can recommend Law Business here without reservation. The team knows the subject matter and the market very well and is very well connected with the rankings.
MÜLLER PARTNER Attorneys at Law
Müller Partner Rechtsanwälte is a commercial law firm with 6 partners and over 30 employees.
Services provided: Positioning and profitability, sales coaching & training for partners and lawyers
As team leader of the capital markets and banking law group, I implement numerous business development and sales measures with my team, but I always had the feeling that we had even more potential here.
Law Business analyzed our existing business development activities. The analysis was carried out on the one hand by reviewing the relevant documents and on the other hand through structured interviews. Law Business then drew up a business development plan for us, which streamlined the existing measures on the one hand and defined new measures for us on the other. This was very helpful for us, especially because Law Business helped us to define our goals in concrete terms.
Mr. Gendlin was very helpful and competent as a project manager on the part of Law Business. A process like this only works with someone who really knows the legal market very well and also knows how to ask the right questions. I can definitely recommend Law Business for the development of such business development measures and sales coaching, I have gained very good insights into the objectives and implementation of sales through this guided reflection.
We subsequently commissioned Law Business with other tasks as well.
NIEDERER KRAFT & FREY
Niederer Kraft Frey is a leading Swiss law firm with over 140 lawyers in offices in Zurich and Geneva. Clients include UBS, Credit Suisse, Porsche, etc.
Service provided: Submission Support
We have mandated Law Business for Chambers and Legal 500 support. Working with Law Business, we have gained important insights into how the international directories work. In particular, the analysis of the Chambers Insight Reports should be mentioned, someone like Law Business can read out aspects here that are only possible through particularly deep knowledge of the subject matter.
We also benefited from the fact that Law Business not only has the image of a law firm in front of it, but of course knows what many other law firms have to worry about with the directories, so Law Business really has its ear to the ground.
If a law firm wants to deal with the Directories in a serious manner, I would definitely recommend consulting the Law Business team - you will save yourself a lot of time and frustration if someone professionally draws the law firm's attention to the many stumbling blocks and Law Business is the first port of call for me here.

Service provided: Submission Support
Law Business provided us with excellent support right from our first collaboration, helping us to be ranked in JUVE and Legal 500 for the first time! We were particularly impressed by the consistently valuable and very prompt feedback from Law Business.
At JUVE, the placement came relatively quickly after the initial submission. As a client, you couldn't wish for more.
I can recommend Law Business to any law firm. The whole submission procedure should not be underestimated; without experts who know what to look out for, it is much more difficult.
Our cases have always been suitable for inclusion in the rankings, but it was only with the help of Law Business that we finally managed to have our very good content-related work reflected accordingly in the rankings.

Service provided: Submission Support
Law Business took over the complete compilation of our ranking submissions for us for several years. During this time, we were able to improve in rankings such as Chambers and Partners, JUVE and Legal 500. The great advantage of Law Business is that they know the market extremely well and, thanks to years of working with law firms, they simply know exactly what to send to the rankings.
This is not just about the textual formulation of content. At Law Business, we also know quantitative data - e.g. which type of clients with which turnover and with which legal and economic issues have a corresponding effect on the rankings.
I can therefore recommend Law Business without reservation. The team acts professionally and proactively at every level and brings a clearly noticeable relief. For me, Law Business is by far the clear Austrian market leader when it comes to working with law firm rankings.

The task for Law Business was to identify the most important facts for our communication strategy from the ongoing court proceedings and to formulate them in a way that was understandable for legal laypersons. Law Business also advised on strategic communication issues.
Such strategic reflection is very helpful, providing a valuable outside perspective based on extensive experience in the legal industry.
Mr. Alexander Gendlin worked here for Law Business and we were completely satisfied with his support. He knows how to abstract legal processes and present them in a very understandable way for non-lawyers. He supported the data selection with valuable questions and created a template that was perfectly understood by the target group.

Mr. Gendlin's interview coaching was also very helpful, you simply can't find your own blind spots on your own. Mr. Gendlin knows the industry and the mechanics of the rankings very well, of course, and it's always a pleasure to receive competent support.
I can highly recommend patent attorneys to work with Law Business for their work with rankings.

Mr. Gendlin was responsible for the planning and implementation of this workshop on behalf of Law Business. The workshop was goal-oriented and the results were valuable for the further development of our marketing strategy and its communication.
