The Solo and Small Firm Summit is back! Join your colleagues for a day
of in-person only programming and networking designed by (and for) solo and
small firm lawyers. Whether you have just come out of law school or stepping
away from practice at a larger firm to strike it out on your own, or if you have
been at this small-firm thing for a while, this program will offer ideas to
improve and expand your practice.
Your registration
includes breakfast, lunch, and after event social and will include 5.0 CLE Credits.
This event is a collaborative effort by the MSBA Solo Small Practice
Experience Section, MWL Solo and Small Practitioner Group, and RCBA Solo and
