Summer Marketing for Lawyers: A Workshop with LeGaL Member Russ Korins

 

Wed. 7/27, 9-10am in Midtown. The summer slowdown doesn't mean you are powerless to develop your practice. This workshop, open to LeGaL members who are practicing attorneys, will offer and solicit suggestions for simple things you can do while everyone else is on the beach. By spending just a little time regularly over the summer on marketing and business development, you can hit the ground running on Labor Day with a well-established base of promising contacts and referral sources. And you will enjoy your own summer vacation that much more knowing you'll be busy when you return.

 

The workshop is free, but participants will be encouraged to make a donation in the amount of their choice to the LeGaL Foundation to support LeGaL's efforts in the LGBT legal community. Details and registration instructions are available at www.russkorinsconsulting.com/legalworkshop.html .

Donate to the LeGaL Foundation!
