Law Management and Marketing Veteran Brenda Stewart Launches Consulting Firm
November 10, 2011
GREENVILLE, SC – November 10, 2011 – Upstate resident and legal industry management and marketing veteran Brenda Stewart is using her 27 years of law firm experience in the Carolinas and Virginia to launch her own firm, Stewart Marketing and Consulting. The firm provides marketing and strategic consulting services to law firms ranging in size from solo practitioners to midsize law firms and legal-related associations.
“Stewart Marketing and Consulting fills a void for solo legal practitioners and mid-sized firms with limited marketing and administrative resources,” said Stewart. “An independent consultant is perfect for law firms and other professional service firms who need guidance from an experienced marketing professional to build their reputation and client base. Even those firms with an internal marketing staff can benefit from an external perspective to shed new light on firm practices to help overcome obstacles and advance strategic initiatives.”
Stewart Marketing and Consulting has secured a wide range of clients throughout the Southeast who have engaged the firm to improve internal administrative procedures and for specific projects and strategic positioning.
Formerly the Director of Marketing and Client Services for Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP and the Executive Director of Leatherwood Walker Todd & Mann, Stewart has been highly involved within the legal field for decades. Currently one of 15 non-attorney members of the South Carolina Commission on Lawyer Conduct, she is also a member of the Legal Marketing Association and the American Bar Association. She served on the South Carolina Association of Legal Administrators Board of Directors from 2000-2011, serving as the organization’s president from 2005-2008. Stewart was also recently named the city group leader for the Columbia, S.C. chapter of the Legal Marketing Association.
Stewart Marketing and Consulting provides an array of services including:
• Marketing/Business Development Planning
• Media/Public Relations
• Strategic Planning
• Practice Group Planning
• HR Policy Development and Training
• Risk Management Audits
• Client Service Feedback
• Attorney Coaching
• Seminars and Training
• The Outsourced CMO
• Superlative Savvy Program
Highly regarded as a legal administration professional, Stewart is a regular speaker at the South Carolina Bar “Bridge the Gap” live sessions, which every attorney in South Carolina must attend before receiving a license to practice. She has also presented at numerous meetings of the South Carolina Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators and at the Association of Legal Administrators National Conference.
“Stewart Marketing and Consulting was a great asset in developing our 2012 Strategic Sponsor Program. Brenda’s insight helped us to create a new sponsorship program that is customizable to fit the needs of our sponsor firms. Brenda was given a complex variable pricing scheme and was able to quickly grasp the content and turn it into a trifold brochure,” said Tim Nohr, President of the Charlotte Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel. “The brochure designed to promote the program is one of the most professional pieces I have seen.”
As president, Stewart will lead all strategic planning, client service and creative development. Her creative leadership and keen understanding of legal marketing has garnered numerous national and regional awards for marketing collateral pieces.
