Law firms invest serious time and budget in conferences, CLEs, and community events. Yet the results often live on a spreadsheet or in someone’s head. Cards get lost. Follow-up is inconsistent. Referral source attribution is fuzzy. And weeks later, leadership asks the inevitable question: what did this event produce?
This post shows how our HubSpot-based Event Management solution captures every touch at the event, routes follow-up the same day, and connects true revenue back to the room you were in.
We have a short video walkthrough embedded below in the “See It In Action” section. Want the full details and a demo now? Visit the landing page: www.lloydsolves.com/lp/event-management.
The Problem: Leads and Referrals Slip Through The Cracks
Typical pain points we hear from managing partners and COOs:
Business cards disappear or get typed twice into different systems.
Intake and attorneys follow up days later, by which time the prospect has already hired another firm.
Referral partners never hear an update, which erodes trust.
Marketing cannot prove ROI because contacts and matters are not tied to specific events.
These are the same systemic issues we solve across professional services, with a heavy focus on legal. Our team specializes in unifying data, automating follow-up, and surfacing ROI so leadership can make decisions with confidence.
The HubSpot Event Management Solution For Law Firms
We configured HubSpot to handle the entire event lifecycle for legal marketing and intake teams. Key components:
1) Event Object With Matter-Centric Associations
Custom Event object tracks each conference, CLE, lunch-and-learn, or hosted dinner.
Associate attendees, referring attorneys, and sponsors to the Event.
Tie every inquiry and signed matter back to its source so you can see conversion and revenue per event.
2) Zero-Leak Capture
Mobile-friendly forms and quick-scan options let staff capture contact info in seconds.
Automatic de-duplication keeps your CRM clean and reduces double entry.
Referral contact gets tagged immediately, so downstream intake sees context.
3) Instant Routing To Intake
Same-day assignments with alerts for intake coordinators and attorneys by practice area.
Timebound tasks enforce a four-hour first-touch SLA so you are the first firm to call back.
4) Follow-Up Playbooks
Sequenced tasks and templated emails for first touch, second attempt, and retainer send.
When a matter signs, the referring attorney receives an automated update that preserves the relationship.
5) True ROI Dashboards
Event scorecards show inquiries, consultations, signed matters, and fees attributed to a single event.
Leadership can compare events and focus on those that deliver the most signed cases and highest fee value.
Proof beats opinion. Our clients expect measurable improvements within the first quarter.
Why This Matters For Legal Operations
Legal is referral heavy, deadline driven, and reputation based. If you are not fast, you lose. We see firms recover millions simply by tightening the path from handshake to signed engagement:
Speed to lead goes from days to hours.
No one types the same information twice.
Referring counsel get timely status updates.
Marketing can finally attribute revenue to specific events and sponsors.
This is the calm, systematized operating posture we aim for in every engagement.
See It In Action
We embedded a short YouTube walkthrough that shows the Event object, intake routing, and the dashboard views you’ll use in your Monday meeting. You’ll see exactly how a contact captured at a luncheon becomes a signed matter and a referral partner update, without manual re-typing.
