Lawyers know that business development is a must. Too many of them, however, approach it as random acts of golf and lunch. There's nothing wrong with that in theory. Clients purchase legal services from people they like, and golf and lunch are fine marketing activities, very conducive to relationship building. The problem, though, is with the word 'random.' The top rainmakers do nothing randomly. They have identified those persons they want to know better and, from there, they develop a systematic plan to go about building and enhancing relationships with them.

Some have opined both in print and on blogs that the firm who has lost the most in terms of talent will be weakened and without a clear vision to move forward. From where I am sitting, I can attest to the fact that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for that firm. I know this because I experienced first hand how a firm can recover from 'the worst of times'
