On Day One of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) Convention, the Solo & Small Firm Network successfully concluded its Solo & Small Firm Bootcamp, delivering practical, high-impact programming for solo practitioners and small firm attorneys from across the country.
The Bootcamp was led by the Network’s Co-Chairs—Vishal Chander, Beatrice Leong, and Linh Ly—and featured two well-attended Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs designed to address the operational and risk-management challenges faced by modern law practices.
The first CLE, Locked, Loaded, & Legally Compliant: Strategic Billing, Flawless Trust Accounting, IRS Audits, & Bulletproof Bookkeeping, provided attendees with guidance on ethical billing practices, trust accounting compliance, audit preparedness, and financial systems essential to running a sustainable and compliant practice.
The second program, Legal Landmines & Insurance Lifelines: Insuring Your Practice Against the Unexpected, focused on identifying common risks facing law firms and the role of professional liability and other insurance products in protecting practitioners against unforeseen liabilities.
The success of the Bootcamp reflects the leadership and collaboration of Vishal Chander, Beatrice Leong, and Linh Ly, whose dedication and vision helped deliver meaningful and practical programming for practitioners at all stages of their careers.
The Solo & Small Firm Network continued at the Convention with two remaining events:
- Friday Night Dinner at Coohills Restaurant in Denver, Colorado, offering an opportunity for informal networking and community-building among solo and small firm attorneys.
- Saturday Committee Meeting, focused on upcoming initiatives, member engagement, and professional development opportunities. Attendees were eligible for $500 in raffle prizes.
Through education, mentorship, and community engagement, the NAPABA Solo & Small Firm Network remains committed to supporting independent practitioners nationwide. The strong turnout and engagement at the Bootcamp underscore the continued importance of this work within the broader NAPABA community.
