I am often asked about the best legal tech conferences for solo and small firm lawyers. Having previously attended and spoken at the State  Bar of Georgia’s law practice management conference, which is slated for Sept. 18-19, I can strongly recommend you check it out if you are in the vicinity.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Take Charge! – The Innovating Lawyer: Pioneering Strategies for Success.” Put on by the Georgia bar’s Law Practice Management Program, together with its Law Practice Management Advisory Committee, it is held at the State Bar of Georgia Conference Center in Atlanta.

Nkoyo Effiong, director of the bar’s Law Practice Management Program and chair of the conference, said the two-day event will include a variety of programs focused on helping lawyers grow their practices and incorporate new technologies to help them be more competitive and efficient.

Topics to be covered include:

  • How to effectively manage and lead a law practice.
  • Innovative techniques for marketing legal services and engaging with clients.
  • Best practices for managing the financial aspects of a law practice.
  • Current legal trends, including access to justice issues and substantive law updates.

The line-up of presenters includes a number of nationally recognized speakers, including:

  • Brett Burney, e-discovery and technology consultant.
  • Nicole Black, legal technology columnist and principal legal insight strategist at 8am.
  • Kimberly Bennett, Fidu cofounder and expert in subscription-based law practices.
  • Stephanie Everett, chief growth officer at Affinity Consulting Group.

Also speaking are several Georgia-based lawyers and law practice leaders such as Matt Wetherington, Randy Kessler, and Regina Edwards.
