    The Associate's Blueprint: Generate Referrals Without a Marketing Budget (EDU260424)
    Webinar- CLE Pass Eligible
    Friday, Apr 24 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    Most associates wait years before they're "allowed" to network or generate business. This is backwards. The lawyers who build sustainable practices start building relationships from day one—not when they make partner. In this interactive webinar, attorney and practice growth expert Jay Ruane will teach associates the exact systems he used to build a practice through consistent relationship-based marketing. Attendees will learn low-cost, high-impact strategies they can implement immediately—without waiting for permission, without a marketing budget, and without becoming someone they're not. This is not theory. This is a tactical playbook for associates who want to take control of their career trajectory starting Monday morning.
