Business Development Power Bootcamp: an opportunity for lawyers to develop their communication, networking and business skills

Latin Counsel is participating in this practical workshop in English as a media partner. The in-person event, to be held on February 20 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, will be led by specialists Natalia Khomyshyna and Itzik Amiel

The success of business and marketing activities depends to a large extent on the motivation and abilities of a firm’s lawyers.

Every day, soft skills are becoming more and more important in the legal field. We live in a world where being able to communicate is a necessity to practice law successfully, especially if you are a partner. However, few have natural business development and sales skills.

That is why Latin Counsel supports the Business Development Power Bootcamp workshop as a media partner.

In this practical, English-language event, lawyers can learn how to overcome the fear of establishing new contacts, how to maintain relationships with existing clients, how best to re-engage with inactive clients, and how to get the most value from their participation in conferences, among other things.

The workshop will be led by Natalia Khomyshyna, a legal marketing and public relations consultant with 20 years of experience, and Itzik Amiel, author of the bestselling book "The Attention Switch" and a specialist in networking and business development.

"Many lawyers don’t feel confident or comfortable participating in marketing activities, many of them say they are very introverted, and all those activities are out of their comfort zone, some are even afraid or feel Imposter Syndrome," Khomyshyna explains.

"You’re expected to balance your growing practice or career, achieve consistent results and, in the midst of it all, find time to invest in networking and relationship building," says Amiel, adding, "That’s why we’ve created a workshop full of lessons and strategies to help you network with confidence and authenticity and get results."

Topics to be covered include personal brand building, tips for providing actionable recommendations, creating plans to develop professional connections, and more.

The event will be held at El Embajador Royal Hideaway Hotel in Santo Domingo from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm local time.
