A LinkedIn group for lawyers:
Finally! A LinkedIn group for lawyers that’s actually social.
‘Keeping it Social: Practice Development for Lawyers TORONTO’ is the antithesis to all social media groups! A collaboration between Bekhor Management and Toronto Lawyers Association, it was designed to bring lawyers together to learn about best law firm marketing and management practices.
This group’s reason for being is to establish an online membership for offline gatherings.
Of all the LinkedIn groups targeting Canadian lawyers, ‘Keeping it Social’ stands out for actually being social.
Our members are starting to talk…
Refreshing and educational.
