Networking and Client Development Best Practices

Speaker: Kelley Goes, Member and Chief Business Development Officer, Jackson Kelly

Legal networking – strategies and ethical considerations in expanding your networking to create connections and build a client base.  Networking is often confused for socializing, but it’s actually most effective when treated thoughtfully and with discipline, beginning early in a legal career.  Effective networking will also help lawyers attract and retain clients, in addition to creating a network of colleagues and recruits.  The model rules for ethics provide guidelines for lawyer communications, and a review of these, especially as applied to a few scenarios, will help lawyers stay compliant.
