Why You Don't Want to Miss This Event...

High quality at a bargain rate
Great programs, value, friendships, fun

These are challenging and transitional times for lawyers and law firms.  Solo and small firm lawyers continue to struggle as our country recovers from a faltering economy.  It’s more important than ever to be on top of your game and unite with your peers for support to come through this rocky time.  And, there is no greater opportunity to do just that than to attend The Missouri Bar’s Solo and Small Firm Conference being held June 10-12, 2010 at Tan-Tar-A Resort at the Lake of the Ozarks.  You’ll sharpen your legal skills as well as enjoy the friendship and support of other solo and small firm lawyers who walk in your shoes.  Plus you’ll earn all your MCLE credits for the year at a bargain rate. 

And, as if uncertain economic conditions weren’t enough to deal with, technology forces, entrepreneurial competitors, and a buyer’s market for legal services are quickly transforming the traditional practice of law.  Will you be on top of these changes?  Will solos and small firm lawyers have an advantage in this developing market?  Will you be able to take advantage of those opportunities?  These issues will be addressed at the Solo and Small Firm Conference giving those who attend an edge to “Catch the Wave” of a new era of practice in which to prosper.  A panel of experts will raise your awareness of these issues at the plenary session and offer solutions you can put in place followed by more in depth programming on the schedule.

This event features a wide variety of over 80 different programs, roundtable discussions and computer labs to choose from.  We’ll have technology and practice management experts on hand armed with information to share as well as a great line up of other presenters prepared to share their expertise.  The very popular Starting a Practice Boot Camp and Trial College/Litigation Track will return.  As requested by the past conference attendees, more specific substantive law tracks are on the schedule.  You can also spend time in the exhibit hall visiting with sponsors and vendors who have goods and services to benefit your practice.  Many offer show discounts.  

Highlights include:

• Earn all your MCLE credits for this reporting year at one time in one location.

• This is the best CLE bargain around.  You’ll be hard pressed to find another CLE for $229.00* for a two and a half day event that includes your meal tickets and lots of great entertainment.  *Register by April 9, 2010.

• Lower hotel rates than previous years that includes complimentary in room internet access.

• Many occasions to interact and exchange ideas with solo and small firm lawyers from all over the state. 

• Network with your peers.  Hallway conversations and social connections build referrals and a support system!

• Bring your family for a low cost fun vacation in a resort atmosphere.

• Many attractive prizes will be given away including a free registration and hotel accommodations for the 2011 conference as well as a $3,000/value vacation grand prize.

We all know the adage about all work and no play and what it does to you.  This event offers you the chance to enjoy some fun and relaxation.   There will be an 18-hole golf outing teaming up golfers with all skill levels for an enjoyable afternoon on one of the lake’s most beautiful golf courses.  For those just starting out, we’re also offering a golf clinic. Keeping with the theme of the conference, Solo and Small Firm Practitioners:  Catch the Wave, on Thursday evening we’ve planned a luau including authentic Hawaiian dancers to entertain you out on the deck overlooking the Lake of the Ozarks.  A Cruise on the lake will be offered at sunset.  Friday evening, you’ll have a hard time staying in your chair while you enjoy a fabulous Beach Boys-style band that will take you back to catching the waves of surfin’ music. There will be a number of receptions and social events to network and enjoy the company of other solo and small firm lawyers.  The Saturday morning plenary session will feature an entertainer who will leave you simply wowed and mystified.

Don’t miss out on this once-a-year opportunity to attend this nationally acclaimed event.  Sign up today and together let’s “Catch the Wave” of a new era of practice for solos and small firm lawyers who are all in the same boat.  You’ll go home with new knowledge and a host of new friends.  Surf's Up!!  We’ll see you there!
