In the October 2007 Issue of Originate!, you can find an article examining the power and value of attending to your clients with utmost care. It shows what Patton Boggs accomplished by investing in the challenge of "capturing the voice of the client."  By this they meant creating a client service culture based on one fundamental principle: “You are an extension and an integral part of your clients”. Charlie Miller, Deputy Managing Partner, and Ronna Cross, Director of Business Development, underscored how important this activity is if lawyers want to serve their clients ably and profitably.  And they examined the what, why, when and how of doing so. Mr. Miller added two specific examples of how they do it for our February 2008 Issue.
