The popularity of the legal profession in Africa combined with standardised legal practice has led to greater homogeneity amongst lawyers. Faced with this dilemma, the reality of globalisation and the growing presence of international players, how does a law firm business stand out of from the crowd in a market saturated with other great lawyers?

Independent African professional services firms (PSFs) need but often lack a clear marketing strategy for their business. Consequently most partnership driven organisations are unable to say “no” to anything that a particular partner wants and very often fail to make necessary choices about which markets and services to pursue. The result? Firms with sub optimal marketing activity and even less adequate marketing resource to achieve their objectives.
