Biography
Jim Hassett founded LegalBizDev to help lawyers develop new business by applying best practices from other law firms and other professions. The company specializes in business development coaching and workshops for large and mid-sized law firms.
Before working with lawyers, Jim had 20 years of experience as a sales trainer and consultant to large firms and small ones including American Express, the Bank of New York, the Bank of America, TD Waterhouse, State Street, TIAA-CREF, Telamon Insurance, and many others. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University, and is an adjunct associate professor of psychology at Boston University.
Jim is a frequent speaker at national and regional conferences, and has written seven books and more than 70 articles in publications ranging from the New York Times Magazine to Law Firm Inc.
Interests
In his free time, Jim listens to jazz and does genealogical research on nearly famous distant relatives. So far, he’s only found one: Ben Duffy, a first cousin twice removed whom Advertising Age called “one of the top 100 advertising people of the 20th century.”
