When an prospective in-house client is searching for a Biglaw firm for any kind of representation, what may matter most when it comes to clinching the deal is the firm’s business pitch.
But which firms do it best?
As luck would have it, there’s a new ranking for that. BTI Consulting Group interviewed almost 350 corporate counsel for its 22nd Annual Survey of Top Legal Decision Makers, and time and again, these in-house clients named 30 firms that not only gave the best pitches but also met their goals for a pitch. “These seasoned clients have seen it all before. Or at least most of it,” writes BTI’s Michael Rynowecer. “And they can spot a great pitch in an instant. Clients want to learn and see a path to their goals.”
