100 of the most trusted advisors to the legal profession.
The Lawdragon 100 Leading Legal Consultants & Strategists is the definitive guide to those financiers, recruiters, marketing and communication gurus on whom the legal profession relies.
This is our 3rd edition of the guide, which we resumed last year after a hiatus in response to overwhelming demand. Consultants and strategists have reached an inflection point for the legal profession, as legal services (and many of the lawyers who provide them) have seen their practices commoditized and marginalized. With everyone searching for the edge that elevates their law practice to premium status, it’s no wonder lawyers have sought the guidance of these leaders.
Jamie Diaferia of New York-based Infinite Global earned his law degree, but found his sweet spot elevating lawyers’ communication expertise, including during crisis. That has provided the platform for he and San Francisco-based partner Zach Olsen to provide the global communication strategies that are essential to today’s practice.
Also comprising this year’s guide are the litigation funders whose big pockets have redefined modern legal combat. How much more evidence could one need of their importance than Burford Capital’s $160M acquisition of high-flying upstart Gerchen Keller, which was only three years old?
And, naturally, no guide to consultants would be complete without those recruiters whose every phone call reshapes an industry, as firms form, dissemble, and – for the lucky ones – move ever forward.
We hope you enjoy the 3rd now-annual 100 Leading Legal Consultants and Strategists.
