When you join, you can expand your professional network quickly and easily by connecting with people you already know…and then tapping into the people your connections also know and trust.
Use your professional network to:
Reduce time, money and risk in hiring – See how you are connected to a potential hire–through law school, a colleague or a past law firm–and use that connection to quickly vet your hiring decision.
Get "just in time", trusted answers to your questions – Tap into your newly expanded network to securely ask questions or discuss a pressing issue of law.
Find connections to people of interest – Leverage your newfound connections to identify a new recruit, learn first-hand about opposing counsel or just simply reach out to others like you to collaborate on everyday challenges.
Keep up on key legal issues when you want, where you want – Attend expert forums on topics of interest and join discussions with colleagues sharing your interests and areas of practice.
Now, with the pre-release of Martindale-Hubbell Connected, online professional networking for lawyers has never been more accessible. We’re harnessing the power of our database–1,000,000 lawyers strong–to make your networking experience truly work for you.
Join now…and please feel free to give us the feedback we need to make this a network that truly works for you.
