DC Bar - Basic Training & Beyond

Scheduled Sessions

Basic Training & Beyond is a two day program for lawyers and law firm staff interested in starting, managing and growing a law firm in the District of Columbia. It is presented monthly, without charge, for D.C. Bar members and firm staff. During the pandemic, all sessions are conducted on Zoom.

In the day-one session, all the essentials of starting a firm in D.C. are covered.

In the day-two session, growth and management issues are covered including client relations, productivity, technology and marketing.

As a resource, an eManual is provided to those who attend. The program has been presented regularly since 2008 and thousands of members have attended and many have launched successful firms. Many of these members stay in contact with our presenters, Dan Mills and Rochelle Washington, former small firm lawyers, and these connections inform the content of the sessions.

2020 Schedule

This program is free for, and limited to, D.C. Bar members and their staff.
