Starting And Growing Your Own Firm: A Twitter Chat

HIghlights from a Twitter chat on optimizing a small firm practice.

Did you know that the micro-bloggging platform “Twitter” is more than just the place where Biglaw partners enact public meltdowns? So much more!

Just one example: earlier this week, we hosted a Twitter chat — in connection with our upcoming Academy For Private Practice conference — on starting and growing a small law firm. ATL’s own David Lat moderated a discussion powered by an all-star team of past and present ATL contributors, including Carolyn Elefant, Jeff Bennion, Niki Black, Susan Cartier Liebel, and Brian Tannenbaum.

Some highlights of a lively conversation:

Why did (or would) you start a boutique law firm?

What skills or knowledge would you like to learn (or are glad you learned) to open your own boutique practice?

How did you find your first client?

What are some challenges or obstacles in launching a small law firm?
