How can you harness the power of social media to build your brand while avoiding the pitfalls?

Join us for this seminar where legal professionals, marketing experts, and legal influencers come together to explore the delicate balance between visibility and compliance. This seminar is not just about avoiding mistakes; it is about thriving online while staying firmly within ethical and legal boundaries.
