Smaller law firms can often feel hopelessly outmatched. Larger, better-established firms feel like they have every advantage going their way. Even the “small firm” charm can be difficult to achieve in larger cities with more direct competition. You know that your firm is worth it, but how do you convince clients to take a chance on you?

There are a host of variables for the success of a law firm: marketing, experience, social media, specialties and more. These smaller law firms need to excel on all of these fronts to gain the traction they’re hoping for. Multiple legal marketing companies have sprouted up to fill this need, but few have the experience of Allison Williams. She has worked as a lawyer and the owner of a firm. Now, she coaches growing firms to help them thrive in the places they once struggled. She has guided countless firms before, and now she’s here to help you.

On this episode of the Spill the Ink! podcast, Michelle Calcote King sits down with Allison Williams, the Founder of the Law Firm Mentor, to learn more about how to improve your marketing as a smaller law firm. They start by talking through Allison’s own rocky start as a lawyer and finding other good lawyers to work with. They transition into marketing advice, going through how to improve your social media, smoothing out your marketing cycle and answering the question “is buying leads worth it?”

Allison Williams is the CEO and Founder of Law Firm Mentor, a company that provides business coaching to help law firm owners become more efficient, increase revenue, and build successful firms.

Are you looking to become the CEO of your law firm? Do you want to spend less time in your business and more time on your business? 

When your name is on the door, it can be challenging to let go of control. In order to grow, Allison Williams says that you have to shift your mindset. It’s not about taking what you have and handing it over — it’s about training your associates and partners to execute the quality work your clients desire. Once you let go of your ego, prepare your employees and clients for the transition, and banish perfectionism. You’ll be able to focus less on the exhaustive tasks and more on the impact of your business as a whole.
