It's not just lawyers who are pulling down big bucks in the legal field. Nowadays, marketing directors are making salaries in the six figures to help sell the services of law firms in an increasingly competitive market.

For many firms these days, it's not enough to have good attorneys and provide excellent service. First, they have to sell themselves to prospective clients. That's where the marketing director comes in.
