Looking for a guide to business development for women lawyers? I have found a great resource for you!
I was doing some research this week and came across A Guide to Business Development for Women Lawyers. It was prepared by the Law Society of Upper Canada, and after giving it a quick read yesterday I have concluded this is a must read for any woman lawyer in private practice. If you are a senior lawyer it is a good resource to share with your mentees. This guide has specific and actionable business development tips for women lawyers, and valuable quotes from many women lawyers.
And it’s free!
This Guide to Business Development for Women Lawyers covers all the most critical topics – everything from dealing with imposter syndrome to how to ask for business.
Kudos to The Justicia Project Business Development Working Group and the women lawyers who took the time to share their practical experience and insight:
