Event Description
Deadline to Register: EXTENDED to March 27,
2017
As a
solo practitioner you are responsible for finding clients, delivering services
and collecting your fees. You also have the pressures of running your law
office and all of the administrative tasks associated with your solo or small
firm practice. Time and time again, lawyers in small firms identify
marketing as their biggest challenge, citing, “We didn’t learn about marketing
in law school!” In this hour-long marketing ethics CLE you will
learn:
• The key Rules related to marketing and how to
comply
• What sales really means for lawyers
• Contacts: the key
to your success
• What makes you unique as a lawyer
• Why you
need a niche
• How to leverage social media
• Using your website
to develop business
• How to think like an
entrepreneur
We hope you can join us and learn what you didn’t learn
in law school: How to ethically market and grow your law
practice.
Registration will begin
at 12:00 p.m.
The program will begin at
12:15 p.m.
