Why Start a Group Practice?

Address the importance of working with an attorney to ensure you are covered legally. Understand the liabilities that come with an expanding practice and how to set yourself up for success.

Explore what you want to be known for as a team and in the community. Who do you want to help and how do you want to go about helping them?
