Short answer: Yes. Less important if you are in-house but crucial if you are in private practice. You'll need those contacts and relationships to build your client base and your portable business.

Ukpeme’s Answer

This is a good question, Nadia.

In some jurisdictions, Lawyers are precluded from advertising their services, for instance , in Nigeria. The practical ways to gain clients include, but not limited to : informing your family, friends and people you interact with about your profession. They could refer clients to you.

It is important to join and actively participate in professional associations . Invest in attending conferences and writing articles.

Importantly, ensure that you do your work with integrity and efficiently. Your satisfied clients will likely refer potential clients to you.

Best wishes to you.
