Lisa M. Bluestein, director of the Small Law Firm Center at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, counsels many lawyers on the issues and pitfalls of starting and maintaining their own practices. As an extension of that service, she has helped organize the Annual Law Practice Management Symposium, designed to provide solutions to all the questions above, and others related to smart office management.
The full-day Symposium is sponsored by the Small Law Firm Center and the CityBar Center for CLE, in conjunction with the New York Law Journal. The agenda includes two CLE programs, five free workshops, and an exhibition to help attorneys figure out how to start and grow a successful practice for firms ranging in size from one to 50 lawyers.
The five free workshops will provide in-depth information on running a successful law practice, from establishing an appropriate billing system to learning how to protect valuable business assets against catastrophe. Dozens of vendors will also showcase the office tools and management services every practitioner needs. “The exhibitors have been selected because they provide products and services specifically tailored to the legal industry,” Lisa said.
