It is part our mission to guide our members on their path to becoming strong, competent and ethical solo and small firm business owners so this issue of the Practitioner is devoted to the Business of Law.
According to the Small Business Administration, there are over 28 million small businesses in the United States. Of those, only 50% will survive. Worse, only about one third last more than 10 years. "Wait," you’re saying…" does that include law firms?" Yes, my friends. Law firms = businesses.
