    Participants will learn practical ways to share insights, reflections, and industry perspectives without revealing confidential information or appearing self-promotional.

    Many legal professionals hesitate to post on LinkedIn due to concerns about judgment, criticism, or professional risk. This session explores how in-house lawyers can participate in professional conversations online while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and strengthening their professional credibility.

    Participants will learn practical ways to share insights, reflections, and industry perspectives without revealing confidential information or appearing self-promotional. The session will also briefly explore the growing use of AI tools for content creation and how lawyers can use them responsibly while maintaining their own voice and professional judgment.

    To help participants take action after the session, attendees will receive a downloadable resource, “25 LinkedIn content ideas for lawyers” to provide practical starting points for LinkedIn posts.

    We’ll explore how to describe your work more clearly, highlight its impact, and share perspectives professionally on LinkedIn.

    Knowing what to share on LinkedIn is one thing. Knowing how to talk about your work is another.

    Following on from the first session on what to share, this session looks at how to talk about your work. For many in-house lawyers, the challenge is how to communicate what you do in a way that feels appropriate and not self-promotional. 

    While LinkedIn is often used to build an audience or generate opportunities, for legal professionals it can be a space to share perspectives and make their work and thinking more visible over time. This helps others understand their experience and where they add value. 

    We’ll explore how to describe your work more clearly, highlight its impact, and share perspectives professionally.

    This session looks at how in-house lawyers can move from occasionally posting to being known in their field. How to engage with others to build relationships and how to show up in a way that feels sustainable alongside a full-time legal career.

    Many lawyers who post consistently start to become more visible, which can lead to more inbound messages and some opportunities that weren’t publicly advertised.

    Sessions 1 and 2 covered what to share and how to talk about your work. This session looks at what happens when you do it consistently over time.

    Credibility on LinkedIn develops gradually, through repeated and purposeful participation, until people start to recognise how you think, associate you with certain topics, and remember your name when an opportunity comes up.

    This session looks at how in-house lawyers can move from occasionally posting to being known in their field. How to engage with others to build relationships and how to show up in a way that feels sustainable alongside a full-time legal career. We will also look at how algorithms and AI tools influence visibility and how you are perceived.

Many in-house lawyers are active on LinkedIn but hesitate to post because of how they might be perceived. This three-part series is for in-house legal professionals who want to use LinkedIn professionally but feel overwhelmed. Each session builds on the last, moving from what to share, to how to talk about your work, to what happens when you show up consistently over time.

The series is led by Alison Yuen, a former legal professional turned content strategist and creator. Having worked in private practice and in-house, she brings firsthand understanding of the considerations lawyers have around visibility and professional communication.
