    Webinar- CLE Pass Eligible

    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.

    While a case may conclude in the courtroom, its legal repercussions often endure for a lifetime. This third segment offers a high-level analysis of the "hidden" penalties that follow a conviction—complex, long-lasting consequences that can fundamentally alter a client’s future. Designed for practitioners committed to holistic advocacy, this program bridges the gap between criminal defense and civil impacts. We will examine the strategic roadmap for navigating high-stakes intersections in immigration, familial rights, and mandatory registries. Join us to refine your approach to comprehensive client counseling and fulfill the evolving ethical duties of the modern advocate.
