In Other Countries
In England and Wales, legal marketing can be traced back to 1986 when the Law Society of England and Wales first permitted lawyers to advertise. The Financial Service Authority now licences helplines and claims management agencies - except trades unions - which typically advertise and refer claims to lawyers.
From the 1990s, other jurisdictions in continental Europe progressively opened way for advertising. Advocates in Spain, France. and Germany are among those able to freely use instruments of communication.
In Italy, the Bersani Decree of July 2, converted into law in January 2007 gives lawyers the right to advertise.
In Israel, legal marketing managers in big law firms were active since 2006. Their activity expanded due to the Late-2000s recession which affected law firms, and due to the large number of lawyers per capita in Israel.
