MMG for Legal Services
A law firm's marketing must help the right people understand its services and reach the right team, without turning a public enquiry into legal advice. MMG helps the firm explain its practice areas, respond consistently, measure qualified consultations, and keep every public claim under lawyer review.
What this looks like
01
A prospective client can find the correct practice area and jurisdiction before sharing sensitive information.
02
A new enquiry receives an approved acknowledgement and a secure route to the firm's own conflict check and intake process.
03
The firm can compare consultation requests and engagement outcomes by source using its own approved aggregate figures, without putting matter details into marketing analytics.
What this looks like in practice
Someone requests a consultation about employment law in a named jurisdiction. MMG records the marketing source and contact preference, sends only the firm's lawyer-approved acknowledgement, and directs the person to the firm's secure intake process. A staff member checks conflicts and urgency before any legal discussion.
Built around the way the work moves
The details that change from one legal services business to another.
MMG starts by identifying your business model, then asks which of these workflows and signals actually apply. These are planning guides, not a claim that every connection or action is already enabled.
Day-to-day workflows to organise
- Keep marketing enquiry separate from matter intake
- Route by stated practice area and jurisdiction only
- Send sensitive details to the firm's secure intake and conflict-check process
- Track aggregate source and consultation outcomes without case narratives
Evidence MMG needs to learn from
- Public practice areas, jurisdictions and approved consultation route
- Firm-approved response process and capacity by practice area
- Aggregate enquiry, consultation and engagement counts
Outcomes worth tracking
- Contact request received
- Firm-confirmed consultation
- Firm-recorded engagement
- Client-approved permitted referral
When a person stays in control
- All legal advice, conflict checks, case assessment, deadlines and urgent matters
- Responsible lawyers approve advertising, testimonials, comparisons, referrals and jurisdiction-specific claims
A stronger industry fit
Plan around how legal services customers actually decide.
MMG uses these questions to shape a useful plan, then adapts it to your own offer, capacity, customer data, and market. The playbook is a starting framework, not a claim that every business works the same way.
The buying path
- Public information or referral → practice-area and jurisdiction fit → conflict check by the firm → secure human-led intake → consultation → approved engagement terms → matter service and client-approved follow-up.
What to learn first
- Practice area sought, relevant country or court jurisdiction, preferred contact channel, timing, and whether the person wants a consultation. Keep case facts, party names, documents, and evidence out of marketing forms and AI prompts.
Where the money goes
- Lead source and cost, qualified consultation rate, attendance, consultation-to-engagement rate, available capacity by practice area, and fees or matter value only from firm-approved aggregate records.
How growth can compound
- Plain-language legal education → appropriate consultation request → careful human-led intake → client-approved feedback or referral, where local rules permit.
What to measure
- Qualified consultation requests, response time, consultation attendance, engagement conversion, source and acquisition cost, capacity by practice area, and client-approved referrals.
Trust and safety
- Never give legal advice, assess case merits, predict an outcome, calculate a deadline, or say an attorney-client relationship has formed. Do not collect party names, case facts, documents, or confidential client information in marketing tools. Route urgent deadlines and legal emergencies to the firm's human contact process. No guaranteed outcomes, misleading comparisons, client stories, testimonials, endorsements, or targeted outreach unless the responsible lawyer confirms they are allowed. Verify advertising, solicitation, confidentiality, referral-fee, privacy, and disclaimer rules with the relevant regulator in each jurisdiction before use.
Recommendations depend on accurate business information. Publishing, messaging, ad spend, and third-party actions depend on supported connections, your permissions, and approval settings.
