Networking dos and don’ts in the new normal
By Jerome Doraisamy|09 February 2021
The nature of daily legal practice has evolved in the age of coronavirus, and so, too, must lawyers’ approaches to networking, says Cassandra Heilbronn.
Ms Heilbronn – a former president of Women Lawyers Association Queensland and the sports legal manager for a government authority in the Middle East – spent substantial time, as a sports lawyer, attending corporate boxes, chairman’s lounges, awards evenings and even prematch coin tosses, all of which presented opportunities for professional networking.
In the wake of COVID-19, such networking is, of course, severely limited. Thankfully, experience has taught her there are multiple avenues available for lawyers looking to build relationships across the board.
