I just finished reading the page proofs for the upcoming new edition of Flying Solo, the venerable bookshelf practice management classic published by the ABA. This is a terrific must-have book for all solo and small firm practitioners who are committed to the effective, efficient, ethical and profitable practice of law.
Granted, as chair of the ABA Law Practice Management Publishing Board that publishes Flying Solo, I may not be completely objective! However, I read all of the books we publish, and this is among the best.
This edition features over 50 chapters written by leading practitioners and law firm management experts such as Joel Bennett, David Masters, Dennis Kennedy, Jim Calloway, Larry Bodine, Jerry Lawson, Lynda Shely, Jim Dimitriou, Tom Kane, Nancy Byerly Jones, Linda Ravdin, Carolyn Elefant, Mark Robertson, Kerry Randall, Gary Munneke, Ed Poll, and Rick Klau. (In the interest of full disclosure, I also contributed two chapters.)
Expertly edited by Portland solo practitioner, K. William Gibson, this book covers most of the issues lawyers face in the life of a solo or small firm--from staffing to technology, marketing to mergers, cash flow to vacations, and just about everything in between. It will be a great addition to your business library today and for many years to come.
I am honored to part of the community effort to bring this practice resource to the legal profession. I know you will find reading the book as rewarding as I did.
