Lawyers
must
plug
in
to
the
details
of
their
legal
work
to
be
successful
advocates
for
their
clients,
sometimes
at
the
exclusion
of
minding
the
fundamentals
of
running
a
profitable
business.
One
of
the
keys
to
this
financial
success
is
maintaining
a
healthy
pipeline
of
new
business
opportunities
that
will
drive
future
revenue
growth.


The
2023
Hinge
Research
Institute
High
Growth
Study,
which
studies
the
activities
of
high
growth
law
firms,
found
that
high
growth
firms
stay
ahead
by
being
informed
about
industry
trends,
emerging
legal
issues,
and
market
dynamics,
anticipate
client
needs
with
data-driven
insights,
and
target
business
development
efforts
with
personalized
outreach. 


It’s
crucial
for
law
firm
leaders
to
recognize
that
modern
business
development
and
marketing
go
beyond
traditional
referral-based
strategies.
It
requires
the
use
of
next-generation
technology
tools
that
go
to
work
on
your
firm’s
behalf
to
mine
all
available
data
and
identify
new
business
prospects.


Leveraging
Tech

Most
firms
know
the
power
of
Client
Relationship
Management
(CRM)
software
as
an
engine
to
drive
firm
revenues
and
business
performance.
By
centralizing
client
information
and
offering
valuable
insights,
CRM
systems
can
significantly
improve
a
law
firm’s
efficiency
and
drive
its
growth.
For
example:


  • Client
    profiles
    can
    store
    detailed
    information
    about
    clients,
    including
    contact
    details,
    past
    matters
    handled
    and
    communication
    history;

  • Event
    management
    tools
    can
    track
    key
    metrics
    such
    as
    attendance
    and
    cross-sell
    opportunities;
    and

  • List
    management
    can
    segment
    firm
    prospects
    and
    contacts
    into
    specific
    growth
    categories.

But
growth-minded
law
firm
leaders
know
something
extra

it
is
actually
relationship
intelligence
that
fuels
and
protects
the
business
development
pipeline.

What
is
needed
is
a
next-generation
CRM
application
that
can
surface
crucial
intelligence
derived
from
relationship
data,
which
can
in
turn
help
law
firms
build
stronger
relationships
with
clients.

TechnoLawyer
,
which
recognized
InterAction+
as
a
“Hot
Product”
for
2023,
published
an

insightful
review

of
the
product
in
which
it
called
out
some
of
the
key
integrations
between
its
CRM
tool
and
powerful
LexisNexis
content,
including
the
following:

  • InterAction+
    lists
    litigation
    activity
    for
    clients
    and
    prospects
    using
    data
    from
    Company
    Analytics,
    one
    of
    the

    Context

    tools
    from
    LexisNexis.
    Law
    firm
    users
    can
    sort
    this
    information
    with
    filters
    such
    as
    the
    name
    of
    the
    outside
    counsel,
    practice
    area
    and
    jurisdiction

    then
    drill
    down
    further
    for
    more
    details
    on
    any
    specific
    result.
  • InterAction+
    tracks
    all
    clients
    and
    prospective
    clients
    that
    a
    firm
    would
    like
    to
    monitor
    and
    is
    now
    integrated
    with

    Nexis
    Newsdesk

    to
    surface
    convenient
    links
    to
    news
    articles
    on
    the
    web
    that
    contain
    real-time
    reports
    related
    to
    those
    target
    companies.

Aja
Hendrix,
marketing
technology
manager
at
Pillsbury
Winthrop
Shaw
Pittman
LLP,
told
TechnoLawyer
that
her
firm
has
“experienced
a
significant
increase
in
repeat
or
add-on
business”
with
the
assistance
of
InterAction+
for
driving
business
development.
