Solo & Small FirmThe Florida Bar’s Solo and Small Firm Section has won the Standing Committee on Professionalism’s Group Professionalism Award.

This award honors one program instituted and coordinated by a bar association, judicial organization, Inn of Court, or law school organization aimed at enhancing professionalism among lawyers and law students and that can be implemented by other organizations to promote and encourage professionalism within the legal community.

Every year the Solo and Small Firm Section provides a CLE conference to assist and provide resources to those that are in solo practice and small firms.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to, professionalism, ethics, technology, wellness, setting client expectations, and law office management.

This year’s conference was titled “Pivoting Your Law Practice: The Resilience and Grit You Need to Survive.” The curriculum was aimed at providing tips, tools, and resources to aid those that are solo and in small firms with the things they need to run a successful business, gain more clients, and have a more fulfilling career.

“Even during the pandemic and having to pivot from an in-person training, this conference was still a success,” the committee said. “The section worked diligently to move the networking opportunities to social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter and encouraged participants to connect with speakers and sponsors through these virtual outlets. Despite all the hurdles, the Solo and Small Firm Section still saw an increase in section membership, partnerships, and sponsors after this conference.”

The Group Professionalism Award, and other professionalism awards, will be presented at Annual Judicial Luncheon June 23 at the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek during The Florida Bar Annual Convention.
