LinkedIn is a powerful way to build your reputation within your area of practice, establish your image as a thought leader in the legal industry, and connect with potential clients. When people need legal help, they don’t just choose the first law firm that pops up. They research their options, and a professional LinkedIn profile that highlights your expertise can boost your credibility. As you build out your LinkedIn profile, make sure you include these four elements.

  1. An Eye-Catching Headshot

This is essential if you want visitors to see you as a professional and savvy attorney. An out-of-date headshot, low-resolution image, or image with the photographer’s watermark will make you look out of touch and behind the times. Going with the default gray box and generic outline is even worse, indicating to visitors that you don’t care enough about your profile to put up a photo.
