Referrals from other lawyers are a great source of new business for law firms. Attending legal events and meeting other lawyers in-person is one key way to building your personal network and finding those potential referral sources.
Sometimes, however, lawyers can get too busy to research potential networking events so we’ve done that for you! Below is a list of some networking opportunities coming up for July to October 2018.
