How To Grow Your Law Firm with Informal Networking feat. Brent Nelson

The podcast features a conversation with Brent Nelson who shares
his perspective on the difficulties of finding time for
professional development in a demanding job. Brent emphasizes the
importance of Twitter in staying up to date with relevant topics
and news in his practice area and using LinkedIn for networking.
Brent is also a podcast host of the show, Wealth & Law.


The Value of Informal Networking as a Lawyer


Brent Nelson believes in spending time with people and valuing
relationships. Because his work in tax law and estate planning is
heavily based on numbers, Brent appreciates how relationships and
money are intertwined. 
“Twitter is definitely one of those hidden gems, which sounds
ironic, right? Because everyone's heard of it. But I think a lot of
people, they don't use it the way that you and I are using it,"
shared Brent Nelson in Episode 101 of the You Are A Lawyer podcast.

Having connected on Twitter, Brent Nelson talks a lot about the
impact of technology on the legal profession. Brent describes the
importance of networking at in-person events, on social media,
and with local and state bar associations. 



There are many arguments that technology will replace lawyers,
but technology and automation will improve legal practice.
Technology cannot replace the personal touch and expertise that
lawyers bring to their clients. Therefore, lawyers should focus
on developing their interpersonal skills and building
relationships with clients and potential clients.

International Families and Tax Law


Brent Nelson acknowledges that all lawyers don’t have to be
full-service practitioners. Depending on the city's size and the
community's specific needs, being a general practitioner may be
required, but Brent found great success in international law and
estate planning.


Brent decided to specialize in working with international
families, which stemmed from his experiences studying abroad
during college. When cases with international elements landed on
his desk, Brent took it upon himself to learn more about the
topic through self-education, reading articles, attending
conferences, and speaking on the subject and quickly found
himself an expert. 



Brent's example of constantly reading, researching, and studying
shows that becoming an expert in a niche area requires ongoing
dedication and curiosity for many years after graduation from law
school.
