Client Surveys: Here for the Long Haul
[Editors Note: The subject of client surveys has been featured in our last two issues. I felt that this is such an important component in understanding one's clients and the competition, that I asked Paramjit Mahli to write an article giving our readers her take on the subject.]
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, lawyers can no longer act in isolation and assume that the delivery of tangible results will be reflected in the growth of their client list. Law firms must see themselves as businesses; those that are in denial about modern day business practices are bound to fail.
Large and medium size law firms have embraced client surveys as an effective marketing tool for gathering valuable information from clients and the marketplace for almost 25 years. However, they still continue to pay lip service to client relationships but don't incorporate this data into their strategic growth plans for their organization. Part of the problem lies in the planning stage ' if the objective is not clear, surveys can result in a costly, ineffective use of resources and time. Those that tend to be poorly designed, lack follow-up. Those that are badly designed have the potential of harming a firm's reputation and leaving the respondent with an impression of indifference. Paying lip service is no longer enough. Don't wait for clients to complain over and over again or take their business to a competitor before implementing changes in your client relationships.

Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
The Anti-Assignment Override Provisions
UCC Sections 9406(d) and 9408(a) are one of the most powerful, yet least understood, sections of the Uniform Commercial Code. On their face, they appear to override anti-assignment provisions in agreements that would limit the grant of a security interest. But do these sections really work?
