These are challenging and transitional times for lawyers and law firms. There is little doubt that many solo and small firm practitioners have particularly felt the pinch. Solo and small firm lawyers are known for their resilience to survive in the midst of challenges. It’s more important than ever to be on top of your game and unite with your peers for support to come through this rocky time. And, there is no greater opportunity to do just that than to participate in the KBA Solo Practitioner & Small Firm Section.

And, as if uncertain economic conditions weren’t enough to deal with, technology forces, entrepreneurial competitors, and a buyer’s market for legal services are quickly transforming the traditional practice of law. Will you be on top of these changes? Will solos and small firm lawyers have an advantage in this developing market? Will you be able to take advantage of those opportunities? These issues will be addressed through the KBA Small Law Firm Practice Toolkit Series.

Aside from being well versed in the law, a solo or small firm attorney must also be a master running a small business.  The KBA Small Law Firm Practice Toolkit series offers advice and resources that can assist attorneys on the basics of starting and maintaining a successful law practice.  This roundtable discussion will be an open forum for small firms to share and exchange ideas about how to maximize technology and operations in a small firm to their competitive advantage. Our panel will provide you with real answers, for real practices, gained from real experiences.

The program has been approved for one hour of dual CLE credit.
