Orlando Small Firm Interview Program


Bidding for the Small Firm Interview Program in ORLANDO is now open!

The Florida Bar General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Section is once again hosting the Solo and Small Firm Conference AND Interview Program in Orlando at the Rosen Plaza Hotel. There are two components of the event and you can participate in one or both events.

THE CONFERENCE
The conference runs from 9-7:30 on Friday, March 26 and from 9-2 on Saturday, March 27. Attending the Conference will introduce you to aspects of a smaller firm practice that will help you best prepare to make the transition. Topics include: Managing a Successful Law Practice, Practicing Law is a Team Sport, specifically for law students: What Small Firms Need from New Associates, and more! The Conference cost includes continental breakfasts, luncheons and a networking reception. UF Law students can attend the full conference for the discounted rate of $25. (the law student rate is $50.00 and UF Law is paying $25.00 of the registration fee). Last year, students and alumni who also attended the full day and one-half Conference enjoyed impromptu interviews by employers with immediate hiring needs that did not have time to register for the Interview Program.
