The economy is in turmoil and the legal climate is changing fast. Please join us as we uncover some of the major issues affecting our practice and profession in this economic crisis. We will provide tools and guidance to help you cope with today and prepare for tomorrow. We have a wonderful slate of speakers covering topics such as the Legal Economy, Budgeting, Competitive Intelligence, Real Estate, and Bankruptcy. We’ll also provide opportunities to visit with vendors and network with your colleagues.
Friday morning Thomson/West is generously sponsoring a Bridge the Gap workshop: Bridge to Nowhere? Successfully Spanning the Legal Research Gap
We look forward to seeing you there!
