Your Next MBD Director Doesn’t Have to Be on Your Payroll

/

An experienced MBD director can bring commercial direction to an established marketing team, help a growing boutique develop its client relationships or support an international law firm expanding into the Middle East. But different stages of growth call for different levels of leadership. Drawing on her experience across international and regional law firms, Polly Lloyd examines where fractional MBD leadership can make a meaningful difference, from mentoring internal teams and developing market strategies to guiding firms through periods of expansion and change.

The Full-Time Marketing Myth: Are Law Firms Paying for More Than They Need?

/

Does your law firm need another full-time marketing employee, or simply a better combination of expertise? As firms grow, marketing and business development teams often expand to meet increasing demands. But permanent headcount is not always the most effective way to access senior strategic leadership, specialist capabilities and day-to-day support. We examine how law firms can rethink their marketing investment, make better use of existing resources and structure their teams to support sustainable growth.

From Requests to Revenue: How to establish an MBD function that becomes part of the business, not simply a support service

/

A genuine MBD function gives a law firm a commercial framework for growth, connecting leadership priorities with clients, markets, relationships, opportunities and reputation. The strongest functions move beyond reactive support to become part of how the firm makes commercial decisions and drives sustainable growth.

Your law firm has an operating system. Did anyone design it?

/

Not every great lawyer is a rainmaker.
Some generate work. Some retain clients. Some develop future leaders. Some become the technical backbone of the firm.
The challenge is not deciding which contribution matters most. It is recognising that successful firms depend on all of them and building performance frameworks that reflect that reality.
