Small-and Medium-Sized Firm Recruitment Summit

free lunch, and a tour of our new facilities.  After lunch, we will engage in an interactive discussion to identify how to best help smaller firms meet their hiring needs.  We will listen to attorneys describe when they realize they need to hire, what credentials they think are important, and what we can do to make the process as easy as possible.
Who Should Attend: Attorneys from firms with up to 30 attorneys, as well as the leaders of the various state, local, and affinity bar associations. To Register Click Here
