This organization has been approved as an Accredited Provider of Professionalism Content by the Law Society of Ontario.

The shift from face-to-face interaction towards virtual mediums has presented new and unique challenges for networking and business development. In this new norm, lawyers have been unable to rely on the more traditional networking forums and have had to adapt to connect with potential new clients and maintain their relationships with existing clients. This shift presents an exciting opportunity for many lawyers to expand their marketing reach using social media, online forums, digital marketing, and other innovative methods. While it has its benefits, marketing and conducting business in this medium also present new challenges including how to maintain client confidence, branding, consistent messaging, and combatting the power of the negative review.

TLA is bringing together a panel of private practice and in-house lawyers with diverse backgrounds to share insights on driving business development in the new paradigm and tactics for avoiding its pitfalls. In this engaging webinar panel, our speakers will share experiences on the strengths and strategies to build your profile even while working remotely.
