Biographies play a critical role in marketing for lawyers and their firms. They appear on law firm websites and on third party websites such as Linkedin. They are reprinted by law firms for use in marketing materials and pitch books for new business, presentations and speaking engagements. Clients and prospective clients read your bio.

A few common-sense guidelines will improve your biography.
