With the client-centric law firm management model in The Small Firm Roadmap, you'll see that getting started is easier than you think. The team from Lawyerist.com-Aaron Street, Sam Glover, Stephanie Everett, and Marshall Lichty-will help you gain clarity around your career and firm goals and identify successful strategies for starting, managing, and growing a thriving future-oriented law firm. If you're ready to do great work that supports a great life, this book is for you.
