It's a growing trend for small-firm lawyers to get together to hear well-known speakers, network with other like-minded lawyers, get information on technology products appropriate to their size of practice and just generally have a good time. The National Solo & Small Firm Conference allows you to build a network and develop referral sources from all across the country.
The educational offerings at the Conference feature presentations from a mix of nationally-known legal technology experts, veteran active members of the GP|Solo Division with advice to share, active participants in the Solosez online community, practice management advisors and other solo and small firm lawyers just like you. Your registration also includes to the General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Division Fall Meeting, as well as breakfast & lunch on Friday and Saturday.
