The ACR Program
The Objective of the Attorneys Creative Roundtable is to help each participant plot out a revolutionary entrepreneurial approach to our future – one that completely bypasses bureaucratic dependencies and restrictions.
We meet and act as a PEER ADVISORY GROUP that will allow us to talk confidentially about individual problems and opportunities and to help one another work out actionable strategies to address those problems and opportunities.
Are you a thought leader? The Group must consist of attorneys who are capable of thinking through problems for themselves and for others. Are you asking yourself what you want to accomplish from these sessions?
Participants must be:
– Committed to excellence in the practice of law;
– Seeking to maximize their earnings from the practice of law;
– Solo practitioners or principals of small firms;
– From various disciplines and from a broad geographical area;
– Willing to adapt to the changes in our lives and practices;
– Willing to share with each other what works best in our own practices;
– Willing to be candid and open themselves up to the group.
Our goal is bring in attorneys to participate from a broad geographic area and from different disciplines to avoid competition amongst participants and to stimulate ideas from across the country.
