Finance Basics, part of the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Resilient
Lawyer Series, will provide an overview of the financial matters involved in
starting up and running a law practice. In addition to hearing inspirational
stories of successful law firm owners, you will learn about law firm operations,
budgeting and considerations for insolvency. You’ll also get recommendations for
communicating with clients about fee agreements, drafting ethical fee
agreements, handling fee disputes, and protecting yourself against problems by
knowing the ins and outs of malpractice insurance.
The Resilient Lawyer Series, launched in October 2020, is a series of
programs designed to guide new and experienced attorneys through the
unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession.
Through multiple virtual events, our experts will provide a wealth of
information to help you start, expand or pivot a practice; break into other
practice areas; and otherwise adjust to the current legal landscape.
In a time of unexpected twists and turns, along with related adjustments and
adaptations, the Massachusetts Bar Association recognizes that many lawyers
throughout the commonwealth are facing less business, layoffs and general job
uncertainty.
Become a resilient lawyer and learn new skills and career development
techniques to respond to the downturn in business while growing and adapting
your practice in the new normal.
