Roundtable Discussion - Business and the Private Practice of Law
***THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO A DATE TBD IN SPRING 2023***
“A lawyer's time and advice are his stock in trade.”
-Abraham Lincoln
Private practice attorneys are businesspeople. As businesspeople, it is crucial to the success of their law practice to understand and appreciate the “business of law” including bringing in revenue, cutting costs, overhead considerations, marketing, and strategic and financial planning. These considerations are relevant whether the business is that of a solo practitioner or a small, mid, or large size firm. The practical implications of the business also change over time, from newly minted associates, to mid and upper level associates, to junior partnership, to shareholder or equity owner.
This Roundtable brings together different types of leaders in private law practice who are at various points in their careers, from managing partners to recent bar admittees, to talk about how lawyers and law students can better understand and appreciate business principles and implications of the practice of law.
