At a time when people can look up dozens of lawyers in one swipe, building a personal brand is of utmost importance to differentiate oneself from the crowd. It can help aspiring law professionals in showcasing their body of work, spotlighting their competencies, as well as networking with clients and peers
For young lawyers, making a mark in an already crowded space can take several years. This difficulty, however, can be overcome with personal branding. The new brigade is putting themselves forward, letting the world know about their skills by leveraging various communication channels.
Lawyers have effectively harnessed different platforms to become a voice while following the necessary protocols and guidelines around the profession. Not only does this help in reaching out to a wider clientele, but it also helps them network and grow as a community.
