MORE ABOUT THE CPD:

Wendy Parker (1) Wendy Parker | LinkedIn will present on "Beyond the Business Card - Building Legal Connections that Count on LinkedIn"

Wendy is a PR specialist and LinkedIn trainer and will deliver a practical, insightful session designed specifically for legal professionals. Learn how to use LinkedIn with confidence -- to make authentic connections, stay top of mind, and ultimately drive more referrals and opportunities.

Wendy says, "in the legal profession, relationships are everything. But today, the first impression often happens long before the handshake. It happens online. And at the forefront of this shift is LinkedIn, which is no longer just a digital résumé, but a powerful platform for building visibility, credibility, and trust."

In this session, Wendy will show you how to:

• Build a compelling, credible profile that invites conversation
• Connect meaningfully (without the cringe)
• Create and share content that adds value and sparks discussion
• Nurture your network to stay visible and referable

Whether you're looking to grow your practice, boost your professional presence, or simply connect with purpose, this session will give you the tools to turn connections into real-world opportunities.
