About Standard Consulting
David Standard
I am a former Partner with over 30 years of strategic marketing and business development leadership in the UK's most respected law firms, I bring a rare combination of executive-level experience and hands-on expertise to every engagement.
My career has taken me from boardroom positions at firms like Eversheds Sutherland, Irwin Mitchell, and Leigh Day.
Along the way, I've delivered measurable results: 114% increases in client enquiries, 30% year-on-year revenue growth, and award-winning campaigns that have shaped how the legal sector approaches marketing.
I specialise in both corporate and consumer law firms, where the work matters and the stakes are high. From managing communications around landmark cases like the Abdulla equal pay judgment to leading digital transformations and CRM implementations, I understand what it takes to build a legal brand that connects with the people who need it most.
David is a Non-Executive Director of British Cycling, he is recognised as a Top 10 LinkedIn Legal Influencer (Q1 2025) and is a former winner of the Law Society Excellence in Marketing Award.
