This book explores management and administration issues in law firms of all sizes, and includes valuable information on law firm culture, marketing strategies, and employment issues.  It addresses everything from space planning, accounting principles, and professional conduct rules, to choice-of-entity considerations, tax issues, strategic planning, and technology.

Principles of Law Office Management is a thorough and detailed guide, written for managing partners, law firm administrators, and small-firm and solo attorneys who run their own offices. Sample forms are included that can be used for billing, employee reviews, financial analysis, marketing evaluation, and client engagement.  The appendix includes abridged versions of several major cases that address law office adminstration, as well as an extensive bibliography of the author's publications on this subject.
