2014 MEDIA KIT 2014 MEDIA KIT CHANGE OR PERISH Law Departments and Law Firms that don’t make substantial changes in the areas of talent development, business process improvement or risk forecasting will become irrelevant. In order to succeed in an ever-changing business landscape, law firms and law departments today need to execute on three main pillars of business: TALENT DEVELOPMENT, BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT, AND RISK FORECASTING. InsideCounsel’s “insider’s” view focuses on these three pillars to offer legal departments and law firms unprecedented access to the thought leaders on the forefront of these critical issues. (EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP) Talent Development (COMPLIANCE) Risk Forecasting www.insidecounsel.com (INNOVATION) Business Process Reengineering 2014 MEDIA KIT TAKING A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE (EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP) Talent Development (COMPLIANCE) Risk Forecasting LAW DEPARTMENTS Based on the analysis conducted by Korn/Ferry, looking at the ages of CEOs and GCs in Fortune, 25% to 50% are over 55 and are likely to retire or be fired within the next five years, creating a leadership vacuum if companies don’t spend more money and more resources. LAW DEPARTMENTS Based upon a confluence of factors, law departments must become more efficient (able to process more legal work with fewer resources) or there will be a far greater risk to their respective corporations. LAW FIRMS As the law firm business model changes, law firm senior management will become to resemble Fortune 1000 companies. More specifically, practice group heads will be similar to business heads in multi-national corporations. Law firms must find a way to train this new breed of leader/senior business manager. www.insidecounsel.com Litigation portfolios are expected to increase (The BakerHostetler 2012 Year-end Review of Class Actions) and merger and acquisition activity risk will increase substantially (FTI/Corporate Board Member – Law in the Corporate Boardroom). (INNOVATION) Business Process Reengineering Companies navigating regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations are challenged to do so in a way that supports performance objectives, sustains value and protects the brand. Chief compliance officers are under increased pressure and scrutiny from shareholders and the board of directors alike. Studies show that compliance risk will increase while headcount to manage that risk will remain flat (Deloitte/Compliance Week, Chief Compliance Officer Study). 2014 MEDIA KIT INSIDECOUNSEL’S COMITTMENT TO ARTICULATING THE INDUSTRY’S MOST CRITICAL BUSINESS PROBLEMS And driving the conversation regarding solutions to those problems. (EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP) Talent Development (COMPLIANCE) Risk Forecasting Driving the conversation around talent development through the Executive Leadership Advisory group, comprising general counsel, executive coaches, members of boards of publicly traded companies, leadership development professionals and deputy general counsel Driving the conversation about the need for more resources through regular feature stories, columns and blogs, a special annual issue and periodic webcasts. www.insidecounsel.com (INNOVATION) Business Process Reengineering By providing critical insights into how the role of the chief compliance officer is evolving and what board of directors need to focus on thought leaders will in turn provide unprecedented access to some of the most influential experts on the forefront of compliance. 2014 MEDIA KIT INSIDECOUNSEL’S COMITTMENT TO INFORMING THE CONVERSATION WITH INSIGHT FROM IN-HOUSE COUNSEL 50% of InsideCounsel’s articles are written by in-house counsel.

AVAILABLE CONTENT INCLUDES: Whitepapers Case Studies Social Content Contract Publishing (magazines, brochures, sales materials) Custom eNewsletters How Cloud and Mobile Customer Articles & Features for Management Solutions are Websites & Newsletters Reshaping the Financial Advisor Industry Videos Research Briefs Drip Marketing/ Nurturing Content WHITE PAPER: Financial advisors and wealth managers are finding competition is intense, investors are harder to spur to action, and everything is moving at Internet speed. Technology is the only way to stay ahead of all that and hone both a differentiating and a highly competitive edge. The firms that make the right technology choices can grow faster, cost effectively, and deliver superior service which inevitability leads to surpassing competing RIAs on the fast track to success. B ut technology is a double-edged sword that does indeed cut both ways. Clients are demanding more, faster and cheaper precisely because they are often online gathering information as fast or faster than their advisors, leading some to second-guess the advice they are given and others to question the value of paying for advice. Customer relationship management solutions, also known as CRM, can help RIAs establish and maintain authority in the eyes of even the most discerning and techsavvy investors. It can also help deliver information to a client that is far more meaningful than anything they can find in an online search on their own. That is to say that CRM is both a business enhancer for RIAs and a value-add for clients. www.insidecounsel.com This is, of course, why so many advisory firms have moved away from spreadsheets and cobbled computer programs and to a full-fledged CRM. However, not all CRM products are created equal making the choice of CRM systems both a vital and tricky business. CRM choices should always be made based on more than the ease of buttons and clicks on the advisor side, although that certainly is a consideration it shouldn’t be the prevailing factor. The right CRM delivers everything you need to stay ahead of clients and prospects. It will also scale with your firm’s new growth and have a large community of app developers and third-party vendors to add value along the way. And, it will easily integrate with other systems the firm is using in order to quickly merge data from other sources and speed and simplify the input process.
