Are you thinking about starting a new family law practice, or have you started one in the last year?


Join us on Thursday 21 January 2021 for this very practical discussion around starting your own firm, not being a family lawyer per se but setting up and running the business.


We have finalised speakers but we are still finalising timing (what talks will happen when). All of the attendees will receive video recordings for each talk.



We will of course also provide written information or checklists for you to follow up with later.


At the moment our speakers include:


  • 9am - welcome, handing out documents

  • 9:15am - Know your why - how do I choose which task to do next or where to spend money? - Amanda Little @ The Business Minded Lawyer

  • 9:45am - Workflow - don't just do what you have always done, how to re-write your workflow - Deb Vella @ Support Legal

  • 10:15am - Why you should call an accountant even for collaborative or mediated matters - don't just take the number from the bottom of the financial reports - Mariano Rossetto, Director of Forensic Accounting @ Vincents
