Holland & Hart Named As A Top 10 Firm in Pro Bono
Holland & Hart was ranked among the top 10 firms in the nation based on pro bono participation according the The American Lawyer's 2006 Pro Bono Report. With more than 80 percent of the firm's attorneys undertaking more than 20 hours of pro bono work in 2005, Holland & Hart was ranked sixth nationally.
According to the publication, Holland & Hart attorneys averaged 88 pro bono hours each. Nation-wide only 10 firms averaged more than 85 pro bono hours per attorney, and only five firms had more than 80 percent of their lawyers undertaking more than 20 pro bono hours.
"Giving back to our communities is a guiding principle of Holland & Hart," said firm Chair Paul Phillips. "This includes our pro bono legal work, and The American Lawyer ranking reflects the commitment of our attorneys to act upon that principle. The people who founded Holland & Hart taught us that practicing law is a privilege, not a right, and brings with it an obligation to give back to the communities and society we live in."

Holland & Hart's Business Class TV Show featured in Denver Business Journal
The Denver Business Journal featured a story on Holland & Hart's Business Class TV program now running on Frontier Airline's Wild Blue Yonder in-flight TV network. Read the article here.
Holland & Hart Launches Business Class TV Show to Air on Wild Blue Yonder, Frontier Airlines In-Flight TV Channel
Holland & Hart LLP, the largest law firm based in the Rocky Mountain West, announces it is producing a television show called Business Class, a branded entertainment piece spotlighting innovative Rocky Mountain companies, to air exclusively on Wild Blue Yonder, Frontier Airlines free in-flight TV channel, starting in July. Holland & Hart is the first law firm to launch a branded entertainment piece on TV at 30,000 feet. The series of 5-minute shows, followed by a 20-second commercial for Holland & Hart, will air in front of millions of passengers on all Frontier flights on the Wild Blue Yonder channel through the fall. Holland & Hart's strategy also includes a new regular editorial column and ad in the Wild Blue Yonder in-flight magazine.
"Our approach to advertising is more substantive than showy," said Mark Beese, Marketing Director for Holland & Hart. "We want to provide information that's compelling and helpful to business owners, who most likely also have legal needs." Beese said that the surge in business travelers on Frontier makes the suite of Wild Blue Yonder in-flight entertainment vehicles a perfect venue for reaching target customers. "Frontier has great business traveler demographics, and while we looked at a lot of different options, we determined that partnering with Frontier’s Wild Blue Yonder Network would be a worthy avenue for our first foray into branded in-flight advertising."
The pilot segment of "Business Class" focuses on Outlast Technologies, a Boulder, Colo., company that applies temperature-regulating technologies used by astronauts to everyday products such as apparel, footwear and bedding. "This is a wonderful opportunity for us to tell the Outlast story and expose our brand to a highly targeted audience," said Pat Gruber, CEO of Outlast Technologies. "We’re thrilled to be a part of the launch."
The next show will spotlight Spyder Active Sports, Inc., which is headquartered in Colorado. "We developed the segment as a magazine-style show featuring compelling images so that people will be sure to reach for their headphones and watch," Beese said.
"Smart marketers are looking for unique ways to target their core audience and present a highly relevant message at exactly the right time," said Wild Blue Yonder Network CEO David A. Henry. "Wild Blue Yonder presents a media opportunity that’s the first of its kind in the industry, integrating short content video that’s entirely customizable plus a magazine and Web site that together provide sought-after entertainment value to a captive, high-demographic audience." A recent study confirms that in-flight magazine audiences represent some of the highest household income (HHI) in the country. "We can add to that media opportunity important video and internet components," Henry added.
Holland & Hart is working with the The Light Group Media Consultants to produce the “Business Class” segments. "When we were looking for a production company, we wanted one that reflected the same innovative spirit as our clients. The Light Group Media Consultants have proved to be a perfect match," Beese said. Holland & Hart’s in-flight strategy also includes a new regular editorial column, focusing on business and legal issues, in Wild Blue Yonder magazine and advertising, which reinforces its branded entertainment piece on WBY TV.

2006-2007 IMAs Are Released! Holland & Hart, Reed Smith Lead the Way
2006-2007 IMAs Are Released! Holland & Hart, Reed Smith Lead the Way
Moorestown, NJ, April 20, 2006: Holland & Hart and Reed Smith took top honors in the 2006-2007 web site ratings and review of the 250 largest law firms in the United States. The independent survey was conducted by marketing attorney Micah Buchdahl of InternetMarketingAttorney.Com and based on five criteria: design, content, usability, interactivity and intangibles.
Sites were awarded up to 10 points for each measure, for a maximum total score of 50. The high score was 45. Thirty firms rated a 38 or better to receive platinum, gold or silver honors in the U.S. large firm category. For the third time, reviews and awards were expanded to include a small/mid-size law firm category. Holland & Hart received the top score: 45 out of 50 points.
“This is the fourth time I’ve gone through the IMA process and law firm web sites continue to improve by leaps and bounds,” said Buchdahl. “It was my intention to discontinue the reviews and Nifty 50 revue after the 2004-2005 edition, but many colleagues asked that I continue. And there were many new sites to see.”
A complete scoring list as well as details on the review process is posted at InternetMarketingAttorney.com.
IMA said this of the Holland & Hart site:
H&H is one of those rare law firm web sites that I actually visit from time to time between IMA reviews. I’ve seen their people at my web site programs in the past and am glad to see they are paying attention. The home page is close to textbook perfect, making use of every inch without looking like an overstuffed burrito. There are numerous well-coordinated sister sites and blogs. The nifty “Blue” quarterly e-zine is worth subscribing to. All they could do here was screw it up. Instead, they continue to improve it. An IMA favorite and a site worth bookmarking. And, yes, my last nitpick about “offices” has been taken care of.
Mr. Buchdahl, a Pennsylvania-licensed attorney, has been involved in law firm Internet business development for the last ten years. The IMA site prohibits vendor sponsorship, advertising or affiliations of any kind. While offering marketing expertise through HTMLawyers, Inc. Mr. Buchdahl does not sell web sites or related products to any firm. There are no fees of any kind associated with the IMA reviews.

IOMA Partner's Report features H&H's Marketing Team
IOMA's Partner's Report featured Holland & Hart's Marketing Team on the front page of their April 2006 issue, entitled:
"Excercising Leadership - Marketing at Holland & Hart: A Model for Other Owners to Emulate"
The article tells the story of how the firm grew its marketing team through a two day visioning retreat, developing project management communication tools, changing the marketing vocabulary, and delivering results. Consultant Sally Schmidt is quoted in the article, "Holland & Hart's marketing concept is innovative. Many law firms adopt one or more components of the H&H model, but few have such a comprehensive approach. Cultural barriers may exist or a firm's marketing director may lake the business acumen to conceptualize and sell a full-service in-house agency to skeptical attorneys. Frankly, in some firms marketing is considered fluff or party planning, not the substantive business process Imaginate provides."
The article lists Eight Ways Business Development Professionals Can Help Partners"
1. Network within industry and community groups to identify prospects
2. Open doors for attorneys and make introductions
3. Provide primary and secondary research
4. Conduct a needs-and-gap analysis
5. Develop a response to the gap analysis, as well as a business development plan
6. Anticipate objections, and develop a response plan
7. Assemble a team
8. Introduce team leaders to 'close'

H&H ranks #1 in Pro Bono Participation
Probonolaw.blogspot.com praises H&H's Pro Bono efforts in a lengthy post called "Never have so many owed so much to so few lawyers."
He opens with:
In case you missed it, here is the American Lawyer article about pro bono lawyers. I find big firm Holland & Hart's attitude towards "billable hours credit" to be refreshing:
Not every firm's pro bono efforts need to be redeemed. Some never seem to falter. Holland & Hart is a 270-lawyer firm headquartered in Denver and secure on The Am Law 200 ["Happy Campers," August 2001]. It ranks fifth on our pro bono scorecard and first in participation rate, with 85 percent of its lawyers performing 20 or more hours of pro bono work.

Practice Group Effectiveness
Thomas Clay outlines six simple, but not easy, steps to practice group effectiveness. Read the article here.
"A third of our practice groups work well, a third are hit or miss, and a third are dysfunctional." This was one of the responses I got when taking an informal poll of managing partners of firms of 150 to 450 lawyers on practice group effectiveness. The overwhelming majority of responses reflected the same general conditions. By any assessment, that is a poor report card.
All large law firms place an emphasis on practice group effectiveness — as they should. In fact, I suggest that this is the single most important strategy for law firms today because being highly effective is at the heart of being highly competitive. Highly effective business units equate to client service excellence, improved profitability, high morale and high competitiveness. While most firms have invested time, managerial effort and money in developing a practice group structure, however, effective group operations often remain an unmet challenge.
How to Succeed as a Lawyer
More than 40 years ago, attorney Roland Boyd of McKinney wrote a letter to his son offering tips on how to be a successful lawyer. When several State Bar officials saw the letter, they prevailed upon the elder Boyd to allow the Texas Bar Journal to print it. Boyd agreed and it appeared in the November 1963 issue. With permission, it is being reprinted in Law Practice TODAY. Read this classic letter today.
The Logic For Having An Advisory Board
Law Firms often suffer from being too internally-focused. Strategy sessions and annual plans are frequently based on resolving internal conflict or issues.
The Edge Group's Patrick McKenna gives an outline of how an outside advisory board can bring fresh perspective and a sense of urgency to law firm marketing and management. Read his excellent article here.
Is Client Service Unprofessional?

The Real Issue for Any Lawyer
On October 21 in Philadelphia, I had the pleasure of meeting Fran Musselman, former chair of the ABA's Law Practice Management Section, as he accepted the LPM Section's highest honor, the Sam Smith Award. During his comments, Fran talked about the basic principles that guided him during his long, illustrious career and as chairman of the major New York law firm, Milbank, Tweed. His principles were:
The client comes first
The client comes first
The client comes first
The client comes first
The client comes first
"Unprofessional?" Consider a recent Wall Street Journal article entitled, "Teaching Doctors to Be Nicer." It stated that medical schools have a "hidden curriculum," defined as "the negative messages medical students get in front-line, residency training that seem to contradict everything they had been taught (in courses) about ethical behavior, compassionate care and professionalism." To counteract the negative residency experience, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has developed new standards for and more aggressive and vigilant enforcement of competencies for compassionate care, ethical behavior and professionalism.
Now fast forward to the legal profession. We don’t require anything of the sort in our law schools. In fact, in conversations I’ve had with educators, their view of law as a profession means that any such programs about effective client communication are trade-oriented and therefore inappropriate for law schools. Is it any wonder that our bar associations don’t require law practice management programs as part of the MCLE requirements? The attitude at the very start of our training is too often perpetuated throughout a lawyer’s lifetime.
I'm all for cleaning up the image of lawyers. But lawyers, first, need to clean up their own act with their own clients. Congratulations to the medical profession for its renewed efforts. It's time for the legal community to wake up and address the real concerns of their clients!

Ten Questions To Ask Yourself At Year-End
How happy have I been overall with my job?
How happy have I been with my family life?
How happy have I been with what I do for myself personally?
Did I do something regularly that expresses my most strongly held values?
If there were one thing that I could change about my job, what would it be?
If there were one thing about my job that I could expand, so I could do more of it, what would it be?
What would I want to add to my job that would make it more interesting to me?
What would I want to add to my job that would make it more meaningful to me?
Where has my life lost balance?
What did I leave out of my life that I wish were there?
The New Generation of Lawyers: Planting the Marketing Seed
It is fairly common to hear partners complain about associates. They do not want to work as hard. They aren't as committed to the firm. They expect more of a work-life balance. If that is true, these attitudes could have a great and potentially adverse impact on marketing. Read the ABA LPM article here. By marketing veteran guru, Sally Schmidt
Law Firm Accounting for Dummies (Or, How to Talk to New Lawyers About Money)
Start with a glossary of the accounting methods used by your firm, then explain the basics behind the statistics you use to measure associatees' contributions. Over time, a smart associate can learn to pick the practice groups, teams and partners who do the best at turning billable time into maximum revenues.
