Representing the Interests of the Largest Demographic of Lawyers in California

The Solo & Small Firm Section (SSF) of the California Lawyers Association’s Mission is to foster a supportive community for solo and small firm practitioners across all areas of practice, to guide our members on their path to becoming strong, competent and ethical solo and small firm business owners, and to recognize the accomplishments of solos and small firm professionals across the state.

The California Lawyers Association (CLA) is a member-driven, mission-focused organization dedicated to the professional advancement of attorneys practicing in the state of California.

We accomplish our work through our standing committees which include: Education (Programming & Webinars), Awards, Publications (the Practitioner & the e-Practitioner), Diversity Outreach, Social Media, Community Service, and Recruitment & Engagement. SSF is an invaluable resource to Solo and Small Firm practitioners in California.

The Solo & Small Firm Section of California Lawyers Association is a tax-exempt 501(c)(6) organization. For income tax purposes membership, sponsorship or event payments are not deductible as a charitable contribution but may be tax deductible as a business expense.
