Presented in collaboration with the WSBA Solo & Small Practice Section

Join other solo and small firm practitioners at the 21st annual Solo and Small Firm Conference on Oct. 9-10 at Suquamish Clearwater Casino!  The theme this year is "Connect for the Long Game: Support at Every Stage."

Building a successful law firm is about more than just practicing law. It's about creating a sustainable business, developing meaningful relationships, and finding support through every phase of the journey. This conference is designed specifically for solo and small law firm attorneys who want to grow thriving practices while building fulfilling careers and lives. Whether you're considering opening your own firm, navigating the challenges of growth, refining your systems, preparing for succession, or simply looking for a community that understands the unique demands of running a law firm, this event is for you. Because building a law firm isn't a sprint. It's a long game. And you don't have to do it alone.
