Starting Your Own Practice (2007)

Although most lawyers do not open their own law practice immediately after graduating from law school, a great many will do so at some point in their professional careers. Almost 40% of all private practitioners are solos and another 25% work in very small firms with one or two other lawyers. What this means is that regardless of what you are doing today, there is a very good chance that someday soon you will be opening a practice of your own. Will you be ready?

To maximize your chance for success, you must have a plan. Whether you are considering a change or are a recent law school grad – this program recording reviews the issues you should consider. The materials include a checklist for starting a firm in New York State.
