Lex Think, Lex Do
This past Sunday, I attended Lex Think, organized by fellow bloggers Matt Homann, Dennis Kennedy and Sherry Fowler. I’d heard the conference described as a conference about nothing but in the end, it turned out to be about everything, from attorney-client relations, billable hour versus alternative billing and keeping the passion in one’s practice. Events like these are so important for solos, I think, because even though many of us (myself included) start our firms with drive and optimism, the daily grind of practice can sap our innovative spirit and make us stodgy and practical, if not downright cynical. But events like these, where you meet, exchange ideas and chart a course of action with innovative people can bring you back to that piece of yourself that drove you to start your own firms to begin with.
I look forward to starting work on the resolutions that I and other Lex Thinkers generated. So why don’t you take a look at the list, pick a couple or think of your own and join me?
