The Outsourced Business Development Department for Law Firms

We take over the visibility, directory rankings, and pitch processes handled by extensive in-house teams in Big Law. We are a dedicated team of legal BD specialists with deep inside knowledge of the market.

Sound Familiar?

The partner bringing in the work is also doing the work; during busy periods, business development stops entirely.
Directory submissions (Legal 500, Chambers) are written by an associate the night before the deadline, and no one follows up with referees.
Pitch requests are scrambled together from old Word documents; there is no standard corporate line.
We are overly cautious about advertising rules; the website hasn't changed in three years, and LinkedIn has been silent for months.

The Problem Isn't Lack of Desire; It's Lack of Structure

At Sectis, we take the business development burden off your shoulders and establish a written, measurable structure that doesn't rely on individuals. We bring Big Law standards to your firm, without the burden of hiring, retaining talent, and managing operations.

Our Services

All services

Our method
Sectis Consulting plans every guide on one annual calendar. We select matters for what each guide measures. Each highlight opens with factual sentences, then explains why the matter is significant. One master referee list covers all guides, favoring client contacts who worked with the team day to day. Researchers decide rankings; we answer for the accuracy and timing of what they receive.
Deliverables
- Annual directories calendar
- Practice overviews
- Master referee list
- Briefing notes for researcher interviews
- Post-publication review
Our method
Sectis records each matter once, in a single credentials database. From that record we produce sector-specific deal sheets and partner bios in TR and EN. Before each RFP we run a go/no-go check, then shape the response around the client's stated requirements. The same data feeds Mergermarket filings. A credentials base frees the partner to focus on the client's question.
Deliverables
- Credentials database
- Deal sheets
- RFP template and answer library
- Go/no-go checklist
- League table submissions
Our method
Sectis positions partners through information, not promotion. Each piece answers three questions: what changed, who is affected, what to do next. We publish a LinkedIn newsletter under the partner's name on a fixed schedule. Every text is checked against Bar rules: no client names without consent, no claimed results, no comparisons.
Deliverables
- Website structure
- Corporate identity refresh
- Editorial calendar and newsletter
- Client alerts
- Bar compliance checklist
Our method
Sectis starts with an audit of every list the firm holds. We verify names and record consent in line with KVKK. Each key client gets a relationship partner and a second contact. Partners keep a light routine: a 15-minute monthly review. Events are designed as knowledge sharing, sent to clean lists and followed up within a week.
Deliverables
- Data audit
- Segmented distribution lists
- Relationship map
- Monthly partner BD dashboard
- Event plan and follow-up log
Our method
Sectis tracks a fixed set of sources every month: directory publications, Mergermarket deal announcements, lateral moves, and regulatory news. We filter for what affects your clients and your practice. The result is a single page a partner can read in five minutes, with suggested follow-ups.
Deliverables
- One-page monthly memo
- Competitor tier map
- Quarterly review of league table positions
- Target-client watchlist
