The current economic downturn may be creating more time and more need for lawyers to engage in business development. For that, a key tool is online social networking sites.

A profile allows former colleagues, friends and people with whom you may have lost touch to find you. When you set up a profile, you not only have a painless way to keep in touch with your own friends and colleagues as they change jobs and cities, you also can let people know where you are when you do the same. It also allows those looking for a lawyer with your skills to know you exist.
