Hanging your
shingle
Thursday, June 3, 6 p.m.
MBA 20 West St., Boston
NOTE: This meeting has been rescheduled to Thursday, June 3
and will NOT be held on Thursday, June 17 as previously
advertised.
If you have ever been interested in opening your own firm,
partnership, or simply wanted to know about this process, join the
Massachusetts Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division on Thursday,
June 3 at 6 p.m. as we present three perspectives on hanging your
own shingle. The panelists will discuss topics ranging from how to
start your own practice; deciding what business entity to form
(partnership, LLC, etc.); and how to keep the business running
years later. Additionally, they will discuss what does and does not
work. A reception will immediately follow. Please feel free to
extend this invitation to other MBA members as well as anyone who
might be interested in starting their own practice. We look forward
to seeing you there.
