Law Society Practice Advisors are assigned to meet with each “New Solo Practitioner” and each “New Small Firm” (generally 3 lawyers or fewer). The Practice Advisors review the Law Office and Practice Management systems that the members have in place and attempt to provide assistance and recommendations which will assist the members in developing an efficient and low-risk practice. These meetings generally occur after a period of time has passed, to allow the “New Solo/Small Firm” to establish themselves somewhat, and so that the Practice Advisors have something substantive to review. However, the Practice Advisors have noted that a “New Solo Starter Kit” could be of great benefit, as members can review relevant, helpful and instructive materials which will hopefully assist them to get started off “on the right foot” and be prepared for the Practice Advisor visit. We have consolidated below a number of materials we have already made available into a single location, for ease of reference. The list will be added to, and the materials updated, and more relevant materials are created and discovered. A list of recommended recorded versions of Continuing Professional Development sessions of particular relevance for “New Solo/Small Firms” is also below.
The following recommended CPD Sessions are available for order through the Law Society. More information can be found here.
