Event: BLN Social Hour
Theme: Best Websites for Lawyers
Host: Indigo Venture Law Offices
Place: 9 Meriam Street, Suite 21, Lexington, MA 02420 (Directions)
We are launching a new event for the Business Lawyers Network called the “BLN Social Hour”. The goal is to provide more opportunities for lawyers and other professionals to network. The BLN Social Hour is an informal get together hosted by one of our members, perhaps on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. It is a good opportunity to visit each other’s place of work, or nearby restaurant. Each event will have a separate theme (e.g., business development, law office technology, knowledge management, etc.)
The first BLN Social Hour will be hosted by Indigo Venture Law Offices. The theme is “Best Websites for Lawyers”. Each person should bring their list of the 10 best websites for lawyers (or at least 5, if you can’t think of 10). Try to give at least one reason you picked each website. We will put the websites on a whiteboard and then see which ones are the most popular. The theme should be a good conversation starter, but there will be no formal presentation.
The event will be from 5:30-6:30pm. Show up as soon as you can – stay as long as you want – enjoy a glass of wine. Participants may continue networking until the host has to leave. ** If you would like to attend this meeting, please register at http://lexpertise.com/. To register, you must create an account at http://lexpertise.com/ and then click on “Events” (in left column). Click on the event. At the bottom of the Event notice, click on “Sign Ups” and hit “Submit”.
The Business Lawyers Network (BLN) is comprised of lawyers concentrating in complementary disciplines such as corporate, securities, commercial contracts, government contracts, secured lending, taxes, import/export, immigration, real estate, environmental, patents, trademarks, licensing, etc. Non-lawyer business professionals are also welcome, but the topic and focus of discussion will be geared toward the legal profession.
If you would like to host the BLN Social Hour in the future, send an email with your name, requested date(s) and location to bln@lexpertise.com.
Thanks to all those who joined us for the first "BLN Social Hour". Everyone seemed to enjoy a pure networking event; and lots of business cards were exchanged.
Also, thanks to those who brought their lists of favorite legal webites. I posted all of the law-related sites at www.lexpertise.net/weblinks. Feel free to suggest additional websites.
