Law Firm Branding – The Danger Of Illusory Brands

Marketing The Legal Mind - 2014 Explains How Illusory Brands Lead To Turmoil And Ultimately The Firms Demise When Challenged By Financial Instability

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA, May 19, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Supported by more than one hundred candid interviews with top law partners across the country, Henry Dahut, brand expert and author of Marketing The Legal Mind – 2014, makes the case that firms that promote illusory brands, can, and often will, fracture from the inside-out when tested against serious financial stress and instability - especially of the type the United States experienced beginning with the recession of 2007.

The sudden decline and ultimate demise of such firms, says the author, is attributable not only to a crisis in market conditions, but also to a crisis in identity, values and leadership. Dahut makes the case that law firms that are driven mostly by wealth and power are firms that are destined to eventually self-destruct. This is because, no matter how much they try to brand, they will be unable to brand truthfully, and therefore will never be able to effectively compete against more progressive and enlightened firms— firms that do brand truthfully - those that do not solely worship wealth and power, but rather cherish personal and professional fulfillment.

Dahut stresses, first and foremost, that the development of a value-driven identity must be viewed as a transformative process. It is an intentional act of determinism. A true value-driven identity can neither be developed in a vacuum nor written by clever advertising executives.

Developing a value-driven brand identity must grow out of a fierce desire on behalf of the firm’s leaders to be more than what they acknowledge themselves to be right now. To imagine a future that truly inspires them both professionally and personally. Nothing stands still. As the world changes so must we. Marketing The Legal Mind - 2014 makes a persuasive argument that the legal profession need no longer be chained to the stale and self-serving values of the past – values that no longer serve society and which have kept lawyers from realizing their greater potential individually and as a profession.
