In Ontario, more than 75% of lawyers work in small or solo practice. Building and operating a small or sole law practice brings a mountain of challenges in a competitive market. Performing, leading, and managing every aspect of the business is unique to legal entrepreneurship and mistakes are common.  

This four-day course will give attendees the skills and resources to launch their solo or start-up practice successfully.
