Chicago Bar Association’s Solo/Small Firm Practitioners Committee Annual Seminar

Includes a Live Web Event on 05-06-2025 at 2:00 PM (CDT; available online or for download after). You can register by clicking on the logo at left. Members only!

Solos and small firms don’t need massive budgets to run themselves. We’ll discuss a developed tech stack and how to strategically build your own. We’ll also look at how to obtain media attention, including video, audio and print media. Why create content when you can have a reporter or journalist do that for you? Finally, we explore how lawyers can strategically leverage social media to build their brand, attract ideal clients, and grow their practice. Finally, we’ll cover practical tips for content creation, platform selection, engagement strategies, and ethical considerations—empowering attorneys to turn online presence into real-world results.
