In sessions ranging from one hour to a full day, he provides a practical, hands-on approach, ensuring that your firm’s marketing is productive and effective, and that your lawyers will have clients when they need them.

All of these interactive programs are educational yet entertaining.

Ross designs the material to thoroughly support the efforts of a firm’s in-house marketing and administrative professionals.  Ross also emphasizes the applicable Ethics rules relating to communications, solicitation, advertising, and promotions, and most of these programs can qualify for CLE Ethics credit.
