MISSION
As an attorney practicing on your own or in a small firm, running your office is a big responsibility. The purpose of the PBCBA’s Solo and Small Firm Practitioner’s Committee is to provide you with the tools and resources to make your job easier so you can do what you do best . . . practice law. The Committee sponsors monthly luncheons that provide you with an opportunity to network with other solo/small firm practitioners. The lunches also have a short program on topics to help you in your day to day practice. RSVPs are required and can be done by going to the Bar’s calendar and selecting the date of the event and filling out the registration information.
