Schedule
February 27, 2025 - Lawyers & ADHD
Presented by Niki Irish of the D.C. Bar Lawyer Assistance Program
For attorneys with ADHD, the demands of practice can magnify the difficulties with organization, sustained focus, and time management common with neurodivergent brains. Attend this program to learn how to implement practical strategies and systems that work with your brain rather than against it.
This program is a joint production of the Law Practice Management Community and Practice Management Advisory Service of the D.C. Bar.
March 27, 2025 - Law Firm Partnerships: What to Know Before and After Tying the Knot
Presented by Dave Ross of Garris Horn LLP
Are you thinking about adding a partner to your practice or joining another firm? Small law firm partnerships are like marriages. At the outset, the parties might be smitten with each other and the possibilities. The devil is in the details: the division of labor, the distribution of power and money, and the best ways to manage disagreements.
Dave Ross, a partner at Garris Horn LLP, will talk you through what you need to know before you make the decision - and what you can do after the decision has been made. Dave has extensive experience litigating disputes between business partners, LLC members, and shareholders of closely held corporations. He knows how and why things go wrong, what you should consider when deciding whether to join forces, and what pitfalls to avoid in setting the ground rules.
This program is a joint production of Practice Management Advisory Service and the Law Practice Management Community of the D.C. Bar.
For more information on this program and other services offered by the Practice Management Advisory Service you may contact Daniel M. Mills or Kaitlin McGee, practice management advisors, at [email protected].
