Management & Marketing Section. The program is perfect for young lawyers,
law students, and any attorney
who
is considering going solo or starting a small firm, or a solo/small practitioner who wants greater
insight into managing a solo/small practice. The program is designed to
help you through the process
of planning and starting your
own practice, and keeping your
new
practice afloat
during the first five years. The program will largely use a Q&A
format, so that you can get your questions answered. Each of the
presenters brings their own practical experience in starting up
a solo or small law practice recently.
Lunch and registration will begin
at 12:15 p.m. The program will begin at 12:30
