Social Media for Barristers (1.0 hrs CPD)
Join our chair and presenter Michael Heron KC and our presenters Jane Needham SC and Sophie Lindsay as they interpret the ethics and advise on the ways for you to use social media to your best advantage.
Lawyers are becoming more aware of the need to leverage social media to enhance their legal practice. But it is not just a matter of posting on LinkedIn about how great you are. In your efforts to gain online recognition of your work, you could risk considerable damage to your brand if you don’t understand how to work effectively with social media.
Our panel will discuss which platforms to use and when, what your ethical duties are, establishing yourself as a thought leader, and how to create engaging and relevant content.
This webinar will be useful for all lawyers, whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a firm.
