In a significant moment for India’s evolving legal services ecosystem, professionals specialising in legal marketing, practice development, communications, knowledge management, legaltech and allied roles, convened in Mumbai for the first-ever national meetup focused exclusively on these strategic roles.
The event brought together marketing heads from leading law firms, legal marketing agencies and consultancies, legaltech startups, legal content writers, and members from legal media. United by a shared vision, to elevate practice development from a support function to a strategic pillar of legal business, participants engaged in wide-ranging discussions on how these functions are shaping the future of legal business.
As India’s legal services sector evolves from traditional structures to more client-centric and future-ready organisations, the importance of these roles is becoming mission-critical. With the legal sector projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7%, reaching USD 3.37 billion by 2030, participants underscored the growing urgency to institutionalise these functions within law firms.
Discussions covered key areas such as client acquisition and retention, brand positioning, digital transformation, and knowledge strategy, all highlighting the multi-dimensional impact these professionals have across the business lifecycle of law firms.
The Mumbai meet follows a successful similar meetup orgainised in Bengaluru earlier this month and signals a growing movement to build an informal pan-India network of professionals dedicated to practice development within the legal sector. Plans for a Delhi edition are already in motion.
