The ReliaGuide Lawyer Referral Network is the only bar-affiliated online legal community designed to help lawyers streamline their networking efforts and develop new business opportunities.
Accessible only to lawyers, the Lawyer Referral Network can help you grow and support your business by allowing you to:
Receive referrals – Your Lawyer Referral Network profile lets you market your skills to fellow attorneys who are looking to make referrals or are seeking specialized expertise. Your profile allows you to indicate your interest in co-counsel, consult, and/or project based/freelance opportunities and publish detailed practice information such as niche areas of practice and representative cases.
Make referrals – From time to time, a client may need assistance that you are unable to provide. These matters may fall outside your area of expertise, be in a jurisdiction in which you are not licensed, pose a conflict of interest, or require more staff time than you can handle. By searching the Lawyer Referral Network you can find the assistance you need.
Expand your network – The Lawyer Referral Network allows you to expand your professional connections across the ReliaGuide network in states such as Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Mississippi.
