Attention innovative law firms, law departments, and legal service providers: get recognition for your innovation – apply for an InnovAction Award.
The College of Law Practice Management sponsors the InnovAction Award, which honors innovation in law practice management. Innovation can range from technology, to new business models, to marketing campaigns, to creative office design.
Change in the legal marketplace continues to accelerate. If you have developed, for example, a new and better way to serve your clients, a breakthrough way to find new business, new metrics that really change how you manage your business, or a truly innovative way to value and sell your services, you deserve the recognition. Now in its 8th year, the InnovAction Awards conduct a worldwide search for lawyers, law firms, and other providers of legal services who are engaged in extraordinary, game-changing, innovative activities. Applications and more information are available at www.innovactionaward.com.
