More Lawyers Linking In

Great article in the Wisconsin Law Journal yesterday about more lawyers jumping on the LinkedIn bandwagon.  (Hat tip: Bob Ambrogi's LawSites.) 

The article quotes several lawyers who, though skeptical at first, found that LinkedIn participation provided unexpected and fast results in business origination. The author writes that, "a partner who was skeptical at first... [found that] in response to two of his emails asking clients to connect, not only did they accept his invitation, but also... two new matters landed on his desk, with very little effort." This probably isn't the first time you've heard about LinkedIn. 

I've already blogged about lawyers using LinkedIn here. Are you using it to build your practice yet?

While I cannot say that LinkedIn is giving me more business, I can sure find people a lot easier that I lost contact with, moved, or just need to stay in touch with.
