BROOKLYN BAR ASSOCIATION: Could Be Right Time for Lawyers To Go Solo
While law firms are shrinking and law schools face existential crises with plummeting enrollments, it takes a lot of nerve these days for a solo practitioner to hang out her shingle determined to build a practice based on her skills almost entirely on her own.
But for those new — or even veteran – lawyers who have always sought the independence and possibilities of an office bearing only their name, attendance at the April 30 Brooklyn Bar Program titled “Big Lawyers, Small Firms: Nuts & Bolts of Building Your Own Practice” is strongly advised.
Panelists include Jaime Lathrop, of The Law Firm of Jaime Lathrop, P.C., and soloist Perry D. Krinsky, who often leads discussions on the complex issue of legal ethics.
