Marketing for Cincinnati business and transactional law firms
A single transaction and a continuing counsel account need different engagement descriptions. Compare the work your firm accepts before choosing the next business-law campaign.
Compare a transaction campaign with an ongoing-counsel offer
Choose the engagement and state its approved acceptance boundary. Use the comparison to keep a defined transaction separate from a continuing counsel relationship.

Illustrative worked example
Build the continuing-counsel engagement offer
Invite an ongoing-account scope discussion with a clear separately reviewed work boundary.
Describe the continuing counsel relationship and its actual scope. Explain how transactions outside it are reviewed, and track ongoing accounts separately from individual matters.
Continuing business counsel campaign brief
Buyer-facing account language
“For ongoing business counsel within continuing small-business contract and counsel work defined in the engagement review, request an engagement-scope discussion. Our firm reviews the continuing work it can support and agrees the relationship before acceptance. Separately reviewed work: An acquisition, business sale or other transaction outside the continuing scope needs a separate matter review.”
Account-review handoff
Available engagement openings: 2. Have the attorney approve the continuing-service boundary and review commitments over time. The firm’s confidential intake handles business facts, conflicts and any legal advice.

Put it to work locally
Apply the local service example
LinnLegal publishes contracts and counsel alongside acquisitions, sales, fundraising and commercial transactions. Use that distinction to describe the chosen engagement. The source establishes a service menu, not another firm’s terms or legal advice.
