Deadline to Register: February 27,
2017
This 3-hour CLE is
a follow-up to last year’s Solo 101 CLE in which we learned
the do’s and don’ts in building a practice from scratch – how to find the right practice area, and how to market and network to build a client and referral base. This CLE will focus on those next steps that are often overlooked or not addressed, yet crucial to continuing to build and maintain a successful practice.
1:00 - 2:00 pm
Successful Practice Management
and Development
Ms. Kimberly Hanlon and Ms. Susan Mundahl will
spend the first hour talking about successful practice management skills and how
to find your niche. Critical to a successful practice is developing and
implementing practice management systems and tools to maximize your efficiency
both in your legal practice and in managing your business. Secondary to this is
an ability to carve out a niche or expertise in a practice area that you can
help separate yourself from competitors.
2:10 - 3:10 pm
Growing Your Practice
Ms. Sheila Engelmeier and Ms. Frances Baillon will discuss strategies and
tips in both when and how to grow your practice with staff, associates, and/or
partners. They will provide a primer on the pitfalls to avoid when making these
critical decisions, while also outlining factors they think important to
consider.
3:20 - 4:20 pm
The Naked
Truth – A Frank Discussion Amongst Colleagues
The final hour will
be a panel of attorneys that will discuss a variety of topics and answer
questions from the audience. The general theme will be to provide tips and
pointers based upon their own experiences relating to their development and
growth of their practice and firms. For instance, our panel members will cut
open a vein and answer – what would you tell your younger self? What one mistake
did you learn the most from? By sharing hard lessons, hopefully we can avoid the
same fate.
Registration will begin at 12:45 p.m.
The program will begin at 1:00 p.m.
