LinkedIn for the Legal Profession

Helping you to increase your professional visibility and produce a steady stream of new clients

LinkedIn is, without doubt, the most effective and respected social media platform for law firms and legal professionals. It has more than 610 million users across 200 countries and territories worldwide and 26 million users here in the UK, it’s easy to understand why. That’s a vast number of potential clients for your legal practice or barristers chambers.

LinkedIn is the best social media strategy for law firms and legal professionals over other forms of social media because it enables you to connect and collaborate with your peers, your existing and prospective clients, and build up a strategic referral network.

Whether a prospective client has connected with you and is following your Status Updates, or just finds you through search results, your LinkedIn profile or LinkedIn Company page is a vital advertisement for your business. Sometimes it’s the first introduction a client gets to your law firm’s unique values and expertise and the legal services you provide.

We would like to show you how to showcase your expertise and stay competitive in an ever-changing market. Just sign up here for our FREE monthly legal business tips newsletter…

I recommend Rachel as an excellent LinkedIn Coach. She was able to grasp and understand very quickly how my business operates and services the needs of both my clients and candidates. She was soon able to draft my LinkedIn profile in a professional and orderly manner.

Rachel's advice on using LinkedIn as an effective business tool with the recruitment sector was easy to understand and follow. I now feel more confident and capable in making far greater use of the benefits of LinkedIn within my business.

Overall, Rachel is extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and is already well connected within her sector with the list growing on a daily basis.

I attended Rachel’s LinkedIn Stage 1 training course having set up my profile some time ago, but not really known how to use it. I felt that I was trying to navigate without a map or GPS, but Rachel helped me get a better feel for how LinkedIn works and how to use it to best advantage.

Rachel is a calm and patient teacher, who presents the material in a logical progression and explains each point clearly. I left fired with enthusiasm for LinkedIn and feeling that I had a powerful tool at my fingertips. Rachel provided excellent aftercare when I got stuck with a technical problem after the course and she has got me back on track. I would highly recommend Links2Leads to anyone wanting to get to grips with LinkedIn or to optimise their use of it to find leads.

I always planned to make full use of my LinkedIn account and following training with Rachel I am inspired to get on with it. Rachel shows how easy it is to get started and make some great connections to increase business.
