Flying small or solo? You’re not alone. The Small Firm Section is built for lawyers who do it all—serving clients while running the business of law. Our Section is focused on the unique needs and special concerns of sole and small firm practitioners, offering resources, community, and support tailored to your practice.

We develop programs and materials, provide opportunities to network, and comment on current legal issues from the perspective of small firm and solo practitioners. Whether you’re looking for practical advice, referrals, CLEs, or camaraderie, this Section is your professional home at LACBA.

What We Offer

• Listserve Access – A resource unlike any other. Connect with hundreds of Los Angeles attorneys daily to ask and answer questions, share advice, request or make referrals, and discuss the latest issues in practice management and law.
• Programs and CLE – Attend essential programs—live or by webinar—covering a wide range of practice areas and management tools for small firm and solo lawyers. Fulfill your CLE requirements through Section-hosted events, or even plan and host one yourself.
• Networking and Referrals – Expand your professional relationships and business opportunities through Section events, LACBA socials, and peer referrals. Find expert witnesses, neutrals, or other service providers across nearly every discipline.
• Leadership and Collegiality – Be part of a strong, supportive community with opportunities to take on leadership roles, serve on subcommittees, run programs, and build collegial connections within an egalitarian and welcoming Executive Committee.
• Professional Impact – Share your expertise by speaking on panels, writing for the newsletter, or leading conversations on the issues that matter to small firms and sole practitioners in Los Angeles County and beyond.
