Law school didn’t teach you how to start a law firm. Yet in Ontario, there are over 52,000 lawyers who are either employed by a law firm (or organization) or self-employed. Some may have learned to start a firm by trial and error. But the wiser way is to learn from the people who have come before you.

Come and join our panel of entrepreneurial lawyers for a candid discussion on how they started their own firms and what they recommend for others, including such topics as:

• The need to determine a specialization• Pricing yourself appropriately and knowing your worth• Dealing with money and valuing yourself• Consulting an accountant and other experts• Starting a firm within a firm• Having a long term view• Overcoming a fear of failure• Combatting loneliness• How to get clients and develop lasting relationships• Building a network• Communicating business with your client• How to recognize that you’ve reached a benchmark and

manage each transition
