This is already happening, especially among legal pros in new tech or legal tech. An impressive LinkedIn profile, can significantly accelerate a lawyer's journey to partnership. In this conversation, we also discuss why it's a good idea for lawyers to create a personal brand, especially on LinkedIn. We talk about how this is useful for both new and experienced lawyers, stressing the need to be genuine and relatable.

The conversation ends with tips on using personal branding to negotiate salaries, explore different careers, and conquer the fear of showcasing oneself.Contact Liz Smith:liz@ameliabond.co.uk or call on 07966 228730 Hosted on Acast.
