Boutique law firms in NYC are aptly named for their personalized, hand-tailored approach in providing services to their clients. Their website descriptions of the term are almost interchangeable: “An attorney or law firm that provides legal services for a specific area of law or legal niche,” or “A law firm that provides a high level of service specific to the needs of its clients,” or “A law firm that has a limited number of clients in a specialized field.” As is taught in Stories with Sass, empowering skills must be acquired when, how and why they are needed, so the motivation for what a boutique law firms nyc provides is consistent with subtlety: it would seem that by focusing on these things, they have become known for their particular strengths in their field.* That’s right, the highly individualized, unique approach of boutique law firms in NYC is quite reminiscent of the coaching provided by Stories with Sass. For instance, individualized attention involves the one-on-one basis of an authentic connection, either through a consultation or initial meeting, as well as routine contact and check-ins thereafter. This directly mirrors the communication between a coach and their client, with the difference that the boutique law firms in NYC have multiple clients. Talking points, otherwise known as solutions, are similar in negotiation and litigation to those brainstorming tactics used by Sass and Story Coaches. Coaches work with their clients to help them focus, remember and articulate what they’re passionate about in such a way that captivates the listener or reader. In doing so, they cultivate those inspiring “ah-ha!” moments that show up in writing or in a speech. Considering that the value of the boutique law firm is to hone in on a niche market, it can also be inspiring to aspiring writers/entrepreneurs. Telling a reader or potential client that he/she is getting personalized, individual service may be more believable if it is emphasized that the service itself may not be tailored to specific businesses or causes. Most writers or entrepreneurs should focus on a niche. This idea shows up time and time again in other popular shows or books. For instance, Alton Brown limits his recipes and cooking style by saying that the first resource you need for cooking specifically is a few good books about cooking to understand the fundamentals. That first resource will help to reinforce that specific knowledge and understanding. Brown had his show, Good Eats, for years, choosing to specifically provide instruction to his audience because there was nothing like it on TV. Similarly, the boutique law firms in NYC focus on niche areas of the law so much that it has become a hallmark of what they do. In a world of “do-it-yourself,” where individuals will go to great lengths to assist themselves in difficult situations without professional help or guidance, the boutique law firms in NYC rise above others with their specialty. They provide knowledgeable, innovative, yet practical solutions to the matters at hand. Those creative, outside-the-box solutions are what clients find most appealing, and they’re what you should master as well-understand the most common types of problems you want to solve. Then make your solutions speak to how you are particularly skilled, better equipped, or uniquely positioned to help a particular type of client or to do a specific task. Think of how you can communicate this, as well as why this is true. Likewise, boutique law firms in NYC and individualized empowering writing skills require context: Understand the client, the business, or the industry. Understand the solution you are going to bring to them is a new perspective or innovative strategy they had not previously considered. A solution that is clearly understood is also more readily accepted by a client as a new strategy. When that occurs, the client or reader states that he or she is willing to give the solution a try. Understanding the client’s needs involves being in touch with the realities of the current situation, similar to how a coach needs to be in touch with the realities of their client’s life. It helps to reaffirm that the solution is relevant to the client’s situation, which builds on that clear understanding, solidifies the needed trust (while breaking down the walls of insecurity), and reinforces that the reader or potential client has the opportunity to be inspired by your understanding of their needs. By focusing on a solution, clients and readers are more open to what you have to say or write next. By focusing on a solution, it quickly becomes obvious that in order for the results to become a reality, something needs to change. We now understand how boutique law firms in NYC encourage us to “stand out” from the crowd. 1. They define their niche or focus. 2. They ask tailored questions. 3. They give authentic answers. 4. They provide practical solutions. Likewise, writers and entrepreneur should also take these lessons to heart. Define your niche for who you desire to write for, whether it’s a magazine, online publication, or for your personal blog (which by the way, is one of the most logical and natural progression for building a readership or network). Then integrate the hints above into your writing process to nurture your creativity. Most importantly, make sure your brand meets the standards of authenticity and clarity so that readers and clients can identify you as a unique boutique offering a specialized service or solution! *Note: for private coaching, there are several options available to meet in person, in addition to the ability to receive virtual coaching.
