In the July/August GPSolo Magazine: How to Start and Build a Law Practice

By Cynthia Sharp

Although running a successful business requires acumen in a number of areas, most attorneys open a law practice without prior business experience and with little or no education or guidance regarding the operational aspects. No wonder so many lawyers struggle financially and never reach their full economic potential.

In putting together the July/August 2018 issue of GPSolo, the hard-working Editorial Board invited a number of experts to share strategic insight into the four pillars of a successful law practice: Financial, Management, Marketing, and Technology. A slate of top-level professionals agreed to contribute articles, and results-oriented readers who adopt the suggestions contained in this issue will reap the rewards.
