Solo & Small Firm Network

The NAPABA Solo & Small Firm Network (SSF) consists of NAPABA members who are solo and small firm attorneys. The SSF Network meets annually at the NAPABA Convention, holds webinars throughout the year, and runs a number of subcommittees. SSF Network members support each other and exchange client referrals across the country and internationally on a regular basis. The SSF Network meets monthly for conference calls and mixers via Zoom.

 

Every year at the NAPABA Convention, we host the following events:

 

  • Solo and Small Firm Boot Camp – We offer two CLE sessions on a variety of topics catered for solo and small firm attorneys during the specialty programming of the Convention.

 

  • SSF Business Meeting – We host this meeting to allow members to connect with each other and to get feedback on SSF’s programming. During this meeting, we identify what is working well within the SSF Network and set the trajectory for the coming year. We also give out raffle prizes and announce our Convention Scholarship recipients.

  • SSF Committee Dinner– We coordinate a dinner where old friends reconnect and new ones are made. The dinner is an opportunity to get to know each other better on a social setting.

  • SSF Webinars – We organize free webinars tailored to our members on a variety of topics. If you are interested in presenting or have a particular topic that you would like covered, please let the Co-Chairs know!

 

Subcommittees: We have the following subcommittees: (1) Webinars; (2) Boot Camp; (3) Membership; and (4) Fundraising. If you are interested in joining a subcommittee or getting more involved with SSF, please contact Linh Ly, Beatrice Leong, and Vishal Chander (contact info below).
