March Teleseminar: Freelance Freedom (2009): How to Get Started as a Contract Lawyer

March 3rd, 2009 · No Comments


Back by Popular Demand!

Want to get started as a contract lawyer, but don’t know where to start? In this teleseminar, nationally-recognized contract lawyering expert Lisa Solomon answers these important questions:

  • What is the most powerful way to market your services as a contract lawyer?
  • How much should you charge, and how can you make sure you get paid?
  • What ethical issues arise in the contract lawyering relationship, and how are those resolved?
  • Should you obtain your own malpractice insurance?
  • If you want to be a legal research and writing specialist, do you need your own Lexis or Westlaw subscription, or are lower-cost or free research tools sufficient?
  • How can you get the best deal from these companies?
  • How can you compete with legal offshoring services?
  • How can you continue to improve your own professional skills (especially in legal research and writing) without breaking the bank?

This program is a reprise of our wildly popular May 2008 Freelance Freedom teleseminar, updated to address issues that have arisen since then, including:

  • What impact does the ABA’s August 2008 ethics opinion about outsourcing have on independent US-based contract lawyers and the attorneys who hire them?
  • Why is a bad economy good news for independent US-based contract lawyers?
  • And more . . . .

Join us for this teleconference on Thursday, March 19 at 3 p.m. Eastern (noon Pacific).

Your registration includes participation in the live teleseminar and a copy of the program recording (mp3). To register, visit our Products page and add a Silver Membership to your cart.
