Law Business helped us to rise in Chambers and get into Legal 500 for the first time. The Law Business team was always very professional throughout the entire multi-year support, they were always polite but firm in asking us to meet the feedback deadlines – I think without this externally driven discipline it would have been far more difficult to get the necessary data together in the first place. Law Business also helped us a lot at this stage 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 Law Business rankers.
Additionally, in 2018, Mr. Gendlin also advised us on our strategic law firm positioning. It was very valuable to receive a reflection on our individual as well as shared goals from a knowledgeable, outside industry expert. In the course of the positioning process, we were therefore also able to develop appropriate positioning proposals together with Mr. Gendlin. It is a fact that you can only take a step when you know where you stand and where you want to go. With Mr. Gendlin, we were able to implement this way of looking at things very professionally.
I can therefore recommend Law Business without hesitation. You can tell that the team has many years of experience; this is simply the market leader at work.

I can very much recommend the expertise of Mr. Gendlin in this area. Any law firm which likes to get more out of their own sales efforts and would like to increase their sales results can significantly benefit from Mr. Gendlin.
Law Business has been consulting us for over two years in the areas of Business Development and Marketing – especially during our work with Directories & Rankings.

GERMAN BAR ASSOCIATION
German Bar Association, Section for International Business Law
IWR Camp No. 3 – Two-day seminar on acquisition/sales skills for attorneys and price negotiations for legal services.
Delivered Service: Sales coaching & training for partners and lawyers
The 3rd IWR Camp was also a great success. Younger colleagues, but also “old timers”, a total of almost 50 participants were again enthusiastic about a legal “teach-in”, this time on the topic of “Acquisition – Sales Skills for Lawyers”.
Under the excellent leadership of Mr. Alexander Gendlin, the participants directly processed in small practical working groups the contents acquired immediately beforehand and implemented them with excellent professional guidance.
As co-organizer, I asked all participants to evaluate the event and received positive feedback without exception. They all found the seminar excellent from a technical point of view and – despite the digital format – were enthusiastic about the organization and the 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 in detail and understands how to communicate the material in a first-class manner and motivate the attendees to participate actively throughout – he is the first choice 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, purposeful, and provides an impetus to rethink internal processes. The open, constructive and very active exchange among the participants also brought great added value.
The 3rd IWR Camp had an experienced coach Alexander Gendlin, who familiarized the participants with sales models and allowed them to experience various sales situations and conversations in role plays. It became clear that advising is difficult – but so is selling one’s own services! Lawyers cannot fall back on “sales teams” like other industries, often do not align themselves professionally with their counterparts or give too much away too quickly (in the truest sense of the word).
Also, those who spend money on marketing by blindly placing ads once or twice a year will not get far. So how do you approach fee issues, sales pitches and cost issues correctly and professionally?
Conclusion after 1.5 days: The systematic examination of this essential topic in role plays and presentations was instructive, and purposeful and gave 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. Thanks to the organizing team around Max Krämer, Orsolya Görgenyi and Adi Seffer. This seminar was profitable in the truest sense of the word!

Delivered Service: Law firm positioning & profitability, Sales coaching & training for partners and lawyers
Law Business first carried out a re-sharpening of my law firm’s positioning. A profitability analysis was carried out with the aim of determining which services fit which target groups.
Then, based on the new positioning, sales and marketing measures were defined. The new positioning helps me to focus better on my target groups.
Before I mandated Mr. Gendlin, I had already been dealing with these issues myself for quite some time, but I did not make any progress because I lacked the right sparring partner. I believe that such a project is hardly possible without the input of an objective third party. It simply needs someone like Mr Gendlin here, 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 conducted such processes several times and therefore always asks the right questions. The sales and marketing measures must also be defined with appropriate care; the legal sector simply has very specific requirements.
I can strongly recommend any law firm to work with Mr Gendlin, the new positioning has helped me a lot.

Law Business assisted 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 was of great help to me to be able to draw on the extensive know how of Law Business during the ranking process and to mostly outsource the work related to rankings.
The support was very competent and completely customized to my needs. Here, you do not purchase a “one-size-fits-all” standard consultation – Law Business tailored their services as well as the work procedures individually to my requirements and consultation services as a boutique law firm.
This is illustrated by the result of our work as well: I am now, even as a “mere” individual lawyer with a niche business model, ranked by Chambers for the first time – and that was just my first attempt to be included in the rankings.
Therefore, I can highly recommend Law Business to all individual lawyers as well.

Law Business assisted us in the formulation of a petition that was presented to a political body. The task for Law Business was to identify the most important facts for our communication strategy from the court proceedings that had been ongoing up to that point, and to formulate them in a way that was comprehensible to legal laypersons. In addition, Law Business advised on strategic communication issues.
Such strategic reflection is very helpful, providing a valuable outside perspective and based on a great deal of experience in the legal industry. Mr Alexander Gendlin acted for Law Business in this regard and we were absolutely satisfied with his support. He understands 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 very well understood by the target group.
I can strongly recommend Law Business. It is not easy to find someone who is well versed in absorbing legal facts and then formulating these facts, that are complex even for lawyers, in a way that is understandable for lay people.

The strength of Law Business is the tailor-made support, which has resulted in a considerable attention in various print media for my firm.

As team leader of the Capital Markets and Banking Group, I and my team are involved in numerous business development and sales activities, 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 by structured interviews. Law Business then drew up a business development plan that tightened up the existing measures and defined new measures for us. This was very helpful for us, especially because Law Business helped us to define our goals.
Mr. Gendlin was very helpful and competent from Law Business’s side as a project manager. Such a process only works with someone who really knows the legal market very well and also knows how to ask the right questions. I can explicitly recommend Law Business for the establishment of such business development measures and a proving sales coaching, I have gained very good insights into the objectives and implementation of sales through this guided reflection.
Upon completion of the above-mentioned projects, we then commissioned Law Business with other assignments as well.

We have mandated Law Business for assistance with Chambers and Legal 500. In working with Law Business, we have gained important insights into the workings of the international directories. In particular, the analysis of the Chambers Insight Reports is worth mentioning. Someone like Law Business is able to extract aspects that are only possible through particularly deep knowledge of the subject matter.
We have also benefited from the fact that Law Business not only has the picture 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 way, I definitely recommend calling in the Law Business team – you save a lot of time and frustration if someone makes the law firm aware of the many stumbling blocks in a professional manner and Law Business is the first address for me here.

Law Business provided us with excellent support right from our first collaboration, helping us to be ranked in JUVE and Legal 500 on the very first attempt. We were particularly impressed by the always valuable and very timely feedback from Law Business. With JUVE, the ranking came relatively quickly after the initial submission. As a client, you can’t ask for more here.
I can recommend Law Business to any law firm. The whole submission procedure should not be underestimated; without experts who know what to look for, it is much more difficult.
Our cases were always suitable for placement in the rankings, but it was only with the help of Law Business that we finally managed to have our very good content work reflected in the rankings.

The great advantage of Law Business is that they have excellent knowledge of the market and, through years of working with law firms, simply know exactly what to send to the rankings.

I can therefore recommend Law Business without reservation.
The team acts professionally and proactively at every level and brings a clearly noticeable amount of work relief. For me, Law Business is by far the Austrian market leader in working with law firm rankings.
