Even they have to network now very early in their careers or when they are seeking out the firm of their dreams. This involves working a room which, even to the most experienced partner comes with fears and concerns. Will Kintish has recently written very useful articles entitled "Working the Room" and 'Casting your net' at Lawyer2b.com which will be of use to new law graduates.

Husnara Begum, Editor of The Lawyer, was kind enough to write her own critique of Kintish in The Lawyer. "The Art of Networking" is available to read on The Lawyers website.

There are many social media sites and networks, but the one that members of the legal profession ought to consider seriously as part of their business development is LinkedIn. Kintish have launched www.linkedintraining.co.uk which gives you free tips and ideas on how to get the best from this social network. Why not read an article which highlights what American Lawyers think of LinkedIn.

Kintish are now offering LinkedIn Training as part of our in-house programme. See how a major Canadian law firm are now utilising LinkedIn as a major part of their marketing and business development on our Success Stories page.

James Knight, Managing Partner, Keystone Law

"Kintish's course on networking is quite simply the best "non-legal" course for lawyers I have been on. I would recommend it to any professional services firm. The valuable techniques and substantive messages I took from it produced immediate results at events I was attending and hosting the following week."
Andrew Shindler, Partner, SJ Berwin LLP

"Networking is a skill that can be acquired. The course was very practical and highly relevant for my career. I'm glad that I have attended this seminar at the early stage of my career."
Shirley Fu, DLA Piper LLP

"After Kintish invited me to one of his networking seminars I was so impressed I put 200 lawyers through the course and the diference has been dramatic.We have 200 people all involved in new business. Even the shy lawyers are keen to come to events now."
Simon McCrum, Marketing Partner, Pannone LLP

"Thank you for taking the time out to give our network a session on effective networking it was fantastic. The attendees have very positive views about the entire session.

Abeje Gordon, The Law Students Network Birmingham

"Very good training and very relevant to my everyday work."
Fran Mayes, Partner, Irwin Mitchell

"On behalf of my team I would like to thank you very much indeed for taking the time out of your busy schedule to spend time with us improving our communication and networking skills. It is very apparent that all those who attended benefited in more ways than one from your advice and counsel"
Thalej Vasishta, Senior Solicitor, Paragon Law

"I know from experience that Solicitors find business development in general, and networking in particular, somewhat of a challenge. The way that you present the seminars, in such a fun innovative, fun and simple manner, I believe is helping to change their attitudes to business developement and networking.

I cannot recommend what you do highly enough and I would be delighted to endorse, not only your presentation skills, but knowledge and understanding of the subject."
Fran Eccles-Bech, Manchester Law Society

"Excellent - incredibly useful tool for business development both centrally and individually."
Karen Holder, Business Development Partner, Pannone LLP
