Julia Von Bennett, Sanjay Nangia, Delida Costin, Monique White, and Claudia A Lewis-Eng

Having a powerful network is the platform upon which a thriving legal practice is built. Understanding who you need to know, and how to build the authentic connections needed to grow your practice and advance in your career can be daunting. This is especially true if you come from a background that is traditionally underrepresented in the legal industry. However, focusing on building and leveraging a boundary-spanning network is the key to building the experience and credibility necessary to succeed.

In this session, we will focus on the following:

  • Defining a boundary spanning network and why is it the preferred network for a lawyer

  • The nuts and bolts: who should be in that network, how you connect, and strategies to develop initial relationships

  • How to engage authentically in every environment

  • Leveraging the knowledge of the people in your boundary spanning network to ensure mutual success
