Want to learn more about what it takes to start a criminal defense firm? 
 

This panel brings together criminal defense attorneys to discuss the practical side of building a successful practice. Topics include launching a firm, attracting and retaining clients, managing finances, creating a reputation in the legal community, leveraging technology, hiring and managing employees, and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship. If you've ever wondered what it takes to turn a law license into a sustainable business, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. 

Please join us on November 19 at BCLS 650 from 12:15-1:15pm. We have multiple panelists from various criminal defense law firms who founded their own criminal defense firm. We are going to have a discussion with our panelists about what goes into starting a criminal defense firm and things they wish they had known sooner. If time remains, we will open up questions to the audience. Lunch will be provided.
