Navigating The World Of Co-Counsel Relationships
Plaintiff Magazine

The client hired your firm via online reviews & referrals in their network. By running engagement with the visiting attorney through Case Status, they will have high client satisfaction with the firm, not the attorney.
Happy clients are clients for life, driving 5-star reviews and referrals to their friends and family. Since you will maintain the brand relationship, you will reap the rewards.
Bringing in additional
“contracting” skills into your firm
through visiting counsel gives you access to a larger legal
services market and the ability to drive bigger results.
Co-Counsel agreements are on the rise because you can gain specialized knowledge required for competent representation in a case. Now you don't have to shy away from these arrangements and can have the confidence that your business will benefit if you seek a little help from your friends.
Your practice might be limited by legal borders that are constantly exceeded by your powerful brand and your potential clients. When a consumer in need of legal services finds the right team in your firm, don't shy away from the business just because they need counsel in another jurisdiction. Build your business through co-counsel.
Lawyers refer-out business for a variety of reasons, including overflow work or the work is outside of a lawyer’s core competencies. When your marketing and intake is really taking off and hiring full-time staff is stalled or slow moving, have confidence that you can deliver with the help of outside counsel.
