Omar Ha-Redeye moderated a panel on April 21, 2022 in the Canadian Bar Association (CBA)’s 2022 Solution Series on Modern Approaches to Networking: Developing and Leveraging Relationships to Bolster Your Career,

Crises create challenges, but also opportunities to pivot and thrive. Now more than ever, it is important to network even though most or all interactions will take place virtually. Reaching out to clients to see if they need help with current challenges, contacting lawyers and other professionals to see how they are doing and communicating with people in different practice areas to explore new potential career directions are all activities you can do from your desk. These actions will help you stay top of mind with your clients and can open up new opportunities for your career. Engage with this expert panel for novel approaches to networking and a roadmap for:
• Authentically interacting with a new contact when you can’t meet in person
• Using effective collaboration tools to check in with current clients
• Adding value to your digital interactions with clients
• Being proactive about your career: strategies for using Linkedin to identify and connect with people who can help you advance in your career
• Staying visible and sharing experiences with your colleagues and the legal community while working from home
