Proving that solo and small firm lawyers don’t have a monopoly on good marketing ideas, this Press Release announces Thompson, Hine‘s weekly casual gatherings every Wednesday where “clients, friends of the firm and existing clients” are encouraged to stop in and chat “off the meter.”   It’s a neat idea that a solo or small firm could readily adopt.  I just wonder, though, whether Thompson, Hine screens its meetings – because otherwise what’s to stop competitors from showing up to chat and introduce themselves to firm clients?
