Do not send any private or confidential information until CM Law has communicated in writing to you that it is willing and able to accept your new matter and provide you with legal counsel. Whether you need legal services and which lawyer or law firm you select are important decisions that should not be based on this website alone.

Email Template 1 – introductory message to inform candidates about CM Law and gauge their interest in moving forward
Dear _______:
Thanks for chatting. I know you are looking for a new home for yourself and your practice. So, I’m following up to provide more information about the law firm we discussed – CM Law (www.CM.law). Here are links to short videos that will help give you a better sense of the firm’s structure and culture:
If you are looking for a better way to practice, you truly will find that opportunity with CM Law. A group of former Big Law attorneys established the firm in 2013 with the goal of creating an organization that was client-focused and lawyer-friendly. And they have done just that.
Today, CM Law is the largest, women-owned and managed, national, full-service law firm in the United States. At CM Law you will be a part of a team delivering world-class legal counsel and enjoy a best-in-class work/life balance (100% remote workplace and no billable quotas!) in a firm that rewards your work through an innovative, generous, and fully transparent compensation policy delivering take-home pay between 80% to 90% of the firm’s gross client
revenue.
They are collaborative.
They work hard.
They play hard.
Their attorneys are well rewarded.
And both you and your clients will benefit as a result.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to help you take the next steps in starting a conversation with CM Law’s Leadership Team. What do you think?
Best,
