"From embracing calculated risk to mastering communication and leveraging LinkedIn as a strategic tool, Haddadin shares his journey and the practices that have helped him stand out in both the legal and business worlds. LinkedIn: The Modern Business Development Playbook Fretzin opens the conversation by comparing today's powerful tools to the old-school grind of cold-calling from the phone book. LinkedIn, he says, has become the top playbook for business development especially for lawyers. Haddadin agrees: Building a digital presence isn't optional; it's essential."
"Haddadin brings a unique lens to the profession, having started as an entrepreneur before becoming a lawyer. While law is traditionally a risk-averse industry, he argues that success often lies in learning how to manage not eliminate risk. He sees risk like a red zone that, when properly mitigated, turns into a manageable gray area where innovation and growth happen. That mindset shift, he believes, separates static legal careers from those that truly evolve and thrive."
LinkedIn has become a primary business development playbook for lawyers, enabling optimized profiles to generate clients, strategic introductions, and lasting visibility. Building a digital presence is essential to bypass gatekeepers and convert second-degree connections into opportunities. Embracing calculated risk and learning to manage rather than eliminate risk creates a gray zone where innovation and growth occur. Clear client communication—setting realistic expectations, explaining legal processes, and maintaining informed support—builds trust and differentiates services. Combining a strategic online presence, a risk-tolerant growth mindset, and emotionally aware client interactions sustains legal and business growth over the long term.
