Course Content To quote Earl, the driver from the movie, The Lincoln Lawyer “You're nobody 'till somebody shoots you”. The same goes for LinkedIn. If you’re not on LinkedIn, your competitors are and if you don’t believe me have a look at your competitors on LinkedIn!

LinkedIn has over 591,000 Irish accounts and over half these accounts are active users. The UK has 8 million accounts and there are over 120 million accounts globally. LinkedIn is Facebook for professionals. It gives you the opportunity to connect with colleagues, clients and potential new clients.

LinkedIn is not just about growing fee income and sourcing new clients. It’s also about sourcing knowledge and information and keeping up-to-date on developments in your area of practice and the legal sector in general.

The single most important benefit of LinkedIn is the people you can connect with for an introduction to new business, a job opportunity, discussions on current legal issues or information on a product or service. When you connect with a colleague, you see their second degree connections - the "connections" of your connections. This is the most powerful concept behind LinkedIn and this is where the goldmine of opportunities is waiting for you.
