Liz says usually, to become a partner, you need to show a detailed business plan with clients, marketing strategies, and ways to grow your client base. But things are changing.

We're looking ahead to a time when a lawyer might say, "My business plan is my LinkedIn profile." This is already happening, especially among legal pros in new tech or legal tech. An impressive LinkedIn profile, can significantly accelerate a lawyer's journey to partnership.

In this conversation, we also discuss why it's a good idea for lawyers to create a personal brand, especially on LinkedIn. We talk about how this is useful for both new and experienced lawyers, stressing the need to be genuine and relatable.

We also touch on how personal branding affects hiring and headhunting in the future. The conversation ends with tips on using personal branding to negotiate salaries, explore different careers, and conquer the fear of showcasing oneself.
