Topic:  Going Green - It's Just Good $ense!

Speaker:  Marshall Fletcher,  All State Legal 

Sponsor:   Cytek

Corporate America is becoming heavily committed to "Going Green", one of the fastest developing trends in the U.S.  As law firm clients make this major move, they are expecting their vendor partners to take an active role in supporting their efforts.  However, few law firms really understand "Going Green", it's implications and how to include their efforts as part of their marketing program.

This presentation addresses the critical questions administrators need to be asking for their firms -
  • What is Going Green and what's the big deal?
  • Why is it important to the legal industry & to my law firm?
  • What are other firms doing or planning?
  • What can my firm do?
  • How can I get my vendors involved?
  • How can I relay the message to my clients?
This PowerPoint presentation with follow up materials will provide administrators and marketers at all levels a better understanding of this emerging trend and they will take away suggestions for programs they can begin implementing immediately in their firms.
