- 16. LinkedIn: Case StudyMassachusetts attorney created referral network of 1500 colleagues within LinkedIn I’m connected to more attorneys than anyone else on LinkedIn. One other attorney has a larger total network. I’m an open networker, who seeks to build a quality network of attorneys and also provide access to other folks looking to be a client. I’ve been able to build a variety of networks within my practice area. I’ve developed a network of lawyers that I talk to on the phone and meet in person, and we have existing relationships outside of LinkedIn. It has helped me better serve my clients who need an attorney outside their jurisdiction or need a particular attorney with a particular kind of experience. It has helped in my business development and law firm marketing efforts.
