Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! It’s a good idea to start thinking about business development methods from the early days of law school, if you want to work in a law firm! Today we’re chatting about this topic with our career expert, ex-BigLaw recruiter Sadie Jones.
In this episode we discuss:
- How business development is relevant to law students and young associates
- When firms think about business development potential, what are they really looking for?
- What can law students do in school to start building networking skills, or hone the traits they already have?
- Being successful at networking as an introvert
- What if you’re thinking of having a solo practice, but hate the idea of business development?
- Law school activities that might be good for business development later on
