Surviving and Thriving: Solo & Small Firm Conference

As today’s business environment becomes increasingly difficult to navigate, the Columbus Bar wants to give solo and small firm practitioners an added boost to help them maintain the balance of billable hours and business management. This April, we once again present the Solo & Small Firm Conference and Vendor Fair. Presenters, Judge James L. Graham, Bruce Dorner, Brett Burney, Heather Sowald and Terri-Lynne Smiles, impart news on new tools of practice to maintain professional standards and work effectively for your business and clients. Throughout the day-long conference, vendors representing greater Columbus’s technology community offer attendees a preview of services and products designed to support the solo and small firm practitioner.
