Dear Members:
As the Managing Shareholder of a small firm in downtown San Francisco, I not only practice law, I also manage the day-to-day operations of my small firm trying to maintain a large, growing and seemingly endless client list. I handle human resources, accounting, payroll, marketing, business development, vendor relations, IT, and community outreach. The never-ending list of decisions and responsibilities that make it to my desk on a daily basis is often times overwhelming. Once the decisions have been made, I need to focus my attention on my clients and the practice of law. Although it is a constant struggle, the rewarding aspects of my job as a small business owner and a practicing attorney completely outweigh the feelings from time to time of being overwhelmed.
