Continuing our series on resources for those interested in creating a solo or small law firm after graduation, today's post focuses on books in the library to help with your firm's financial solvency. How will you bill your clients? How will you communicate your charges? How will you structure your fees? How will you collect payments? Where do you find new clients? How do you keep them once found? How do you stay within the ethical boundaries with these issues?
