Time to unleash the potential of LinkedIn?

Legal professionals looking to get more out of their LinkedIn profiles are invited to a special event in Leeds at Eversheds Sutherland, hosted by TBD Marketing.

Taking place on Thursday 16 January, the session will offer tips on making the most of the LinkedIn platform for lawyers at every stage of their careers. The event will also see the launch of TBD’s Q4 LinkedInfluencer Report, spotlighting key legal voices on LinkedIn from the top 200 law firms. Speakers will include Patrick McCann, global head of learning at Linklaters, and the report’s top ‘LinkedinInfluencer’, Jen Shipley, senior associate at Irwin Mitchell.

TBD Marketing founder Simon Marshall said: ‘This new generation of lawyers are digital natives who know their way around social media. Many are already using LinkedIn, but with the right skills, they can be as savvy on LinkedIn as they are on Instagram, helping them grow their careers and their firms’ profiles.’

To register your attendance at this event, see here. TBD Marketing are offering a hardship fund for anyone who might not be able to afford the cost of travel.
