Establishing a Successful Transactional Practice
This is an externally hosted event happening at Atlanta Tech Village
--
Join the Founders Legal team on Wednesday, October 16th, 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm for a happy hour with a twist.
Jeff Bekiares, our managing partner, and Founders Legal partner David Pierce will explore the intricacies young lawyers face trying to establish themselves in the legal world.
Establishing a respected, effective and successful transactional practice as a young lawyer can be tough. Legal education can leave young lawyers unprepared for the realities of practice establishment, and the deep end of the pool at our first employer can leave young lawyers drowning. This dual instruction session will provide a crash course in the technical dos and don'ts to put young lawyers in transactional practice on a sound footing, and the second half will discuss tips and tricks for client acquisition and reputation building.
This seminar promises valuable insights - we are working on getting this event approved for 1.5 hours of CLE credits as well.
Don't miss this opportunity! Register today and take the first step towards building your transactional practice.
This event is part of our Happy Hour & Networking Event Series at Atlanta Tech Village. For 2024, we are bringing a diversity of topics and presenters. Our focus is on creating interactive and enlightening experiences, fostering a dynamic environment where law, technology, and business converge.
