Founded in 1985, the Legal Marketing Association ("LMA") is a non-profit professional organization that provides resources to attorneys and in-house law firm marketing administrators who want to develop their practices through learning the latest and most effective marketing and business development techniques. As a result, LMA brings together consultants, vendors, and marketing students.
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, LMA is focused on the latest developments for marketing, advertising and business development within the legal profession. The new executive director of LMA is Danielle Holland who has grown the organization both within the United States and abroad.
The LMA was founded so that individuals working to market legal services would have a forum to share and exchange ideas. The organization is also a great way to find legal marketing jobs through the LMA job bank.
