Upcoming Virtual Networking Events for Lawyers: November & December 2020

(Updated November 9, 2020)

A lot of lawyers have asked me, "How do you keep networking and making connections during a pandemic?" I know it is definitely harder to maintain those relationship now. There are no in-person events where you can run into acquaintances and catch up on their practice, business and anything new in their lives.

But there are some alternative ways to keep in touch and one of those ways is through virtual networking events.

We've curated a list of some upcoming events where hopefully you can connect with some other lawyers to build your network and meet potential referral sources.  Take advantage of the chat function and the break out rooms to meet someone new and make sure to follow-up after the event!
