Starting any new business can be daunting. You have the legal knowledge and perhaps even some clients, but how do you start and manage the business side of the firm—something typically not taught in law school!

This CLE will focus on effectively managing the business and tips for running an effective office. Topics will cover how to select a location and balance the rent obligation with subletting possibilities. Also discussed will be staffing, including perhaps sharing a secretary, using paralegal help and retaining law students to assist.

Finally, we will explore growing your practice through effective networking and outreach while considering ethical concerns.
