Michael C. James Email & Phone Number

I'm a highly accomplished marketer, writer and team leader with a career-long focus on internal and external communications. Building on nearly 15 years of experience as an in-house professional at several Chicago law firms (including three years as a director of marketing), I like to say I sit at the intersection of marketing and business development.I’m an excellent writer/editor, strategic thinker and detail-oriented project manager who quickly gains the trust and respect of marketing colleagues, as well as busy attorneys and other senior-level professionals who come to rely on me for guidance. Earlier in my career, I spent three years on the client service side in the PR division of an advertising agency, and I have significant experience as a writer, editor and team leader in a deadline-intensive publishing environment.The common thread running through all of my professional endeavors is a passion for words. I understand the power of effective communication and how words can support business development goals and strategic growth—whether you’re targeting the media, existing clients, prospects, potential laterals, internal audiences or other stakeholders.
