As immediate past chair of the Austin Bar Association Solo/Small Firm Section, my main responsibility is to organize and run a half-day CLE program the Section puts on each year. We have put together what I think will be an outstanding program that will educate attendees on a number of subjects relevant to solos and small firms.
Topics include advertising and barratry in the age of social media, office automation and the reduced-paper office, negotiating strategies and routes to conflict resolution, and practice management in tough economic times. Our speakers include sitting judges, bar officials, and experienced practitioners. The full schedule and speaker list is pasted below and is also available here.
We hope you’ll join us on February 23!
