WHAT WE DO
INTERACTIVE
WORKSHOPS
BDforIP delivers interactive workshops to your team, addressing all the hot topics associated with business development and business networking, providing a selection of helpful, practical tips.
NEW YEAR 'KICK-OFF'
WORKSHOPS FOR 2025
Hit the ground running in the New Year to revitalise your team's knowledge and efforts when it comes to BD planning and activities for the year ahead.
We provide the ideas, the know-how and the focus to keep you on target, doing what you need to do, when you need to do it.
ONE ON ONE SUPPORT
These one on one sessions (either face to face or via video conferencing) allow for a private discussion on how best to tackle the issues that relate directly to your own practice. This can include topics such as client management, client retention, client growth and new business development.
INTA MAXIMISER '25
Running from January to June, providing IP attorneys with a structured, proactive approach to preparing for and maximizing their participation at the INTA Annual Meeting. By starting earlier than typical schedules allow, it ensures attorneys think strategically about INTA well in advance. A key feature is the ongoing collaboration with a BD professional who provides structure, keeps the team focused, and holds them accountable throughout the process. This service helps attorneys strengthen key relationships, identify new opportunities, and turn meetings into meaningful business development results.
PARTNER RETREATS
A Partner Retreat is an ideal opportunity for your firm to take stock of where it is today, to discuss where it would like to be and to commit to making the necessary changes to bring that new vision to fruition.
BDforIP deliver across a range of BD topics with the partners in order for them to determine a better path forward and to implement a meaningful strategy for the year ahead and beyond.
RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We will guide you on how best to develop business relationships with those you meet throughout the year. New contacts are the life blood of your business - continued personalised communication is crucial. This is not a natural thought process for many and so gaining professional guidance can be extremely useful.
