You’ve started your own firm. Now what?

Making the decision to hire is a big step for a solo and small-firm attorney. Adding staff is a decision that affects the bottom line and can create stress. However, having the right people in place at the right time can boost a small firm’s overall productivity, and attorneys should not let their anxieties dictate their decisions.

This panel of successful attorney/law firm owners will discuss the factors to consider when deciding whether or whom to hire. The program will be presented and moderated by an immigration law attorney who will describe her small firm’s decision to hire an office manager and how hiring that person has not only increased the firm’s overall profitability, but also positioned her firm to handle the current wave of new immigration law clients. Other panelists will describe how virtual services are helping their firms to grow. Finally, panelists will discuss new technology and if AI/GAI can be used to streamline or replace functions.  

Register for both Open Your Own Law Firm: Action Items and Considerations for the Attorney Entrepreneur and The Right Stuff – Hiring Staff to Ensure Firm Growth and Success to gain a comprehensive roadmap from launch to growth at a discounted bundle price ($175 for members | $209 for non-members).
