Created to Make Your Law Practice Better in Every Way!
The goal of the Solo & Small Firm Conference is to help you have a more satisfying practice – making your work easier, more efficient, less stressful, and even more profitable. That’s why we are offering so many practical and helpful sessions from which to choose. You create the Conference that best meets your needs and desires.
Helping You Take the Stress Out of Legal Practice!
Everyone knows that the practice of law can be very demanding and very stressful. That’s why so many of our sessions are meant to help relieve some of the difficulties of practice and, ultimately, relieve some of its stress.
Learning Should Be Fun – And It Is at the Solo and Small Firm Conference!
We combine great sessions with good teachers, numerous panel presentations, networking time to talk with faculty and other colleagues, and all in a fun and relaxing environment. If you want a better and more satisfying practice, join us in Duluth for great learning and a whole lot of fun.
Make It a Mini Family Get-a-Way!
We welcome families to our evening events and even to lunches both days. It’s an informal setting that will make your family feel welcome. There are so many things to see and do in Duluth – all in a beautiful setting on the shore of the largest freshwater lake in the world. Your family will love it!
Or, Make It a Firm Retreat!
It’s a ready-made retreat waiting to happen. Bring your entire firm and learn together, talk together and enjoy each other’s company. It will inspire great ideas for your firm and will be a great team-building time that will pay dividends many times over.
