June 22, 2009 – The State Bar announces a new resource to help members manage their practice in a down economy, handle career transitions when suddenly unemployed, and manage the stress that comes with these issues. There are many resources available to address these issues and they are now all conveniently located in one place – on WisBar.
“Practicing law is never easy, but managing a career, building a practice, and having a balanced life get even tougher in a down economy,” says State Bar Executive Director George Brown. “In response, we’ve put together a collection of resources to help you during this trying time.”
The three areas of focus include:
- Law Practice Management Resources, which offers a variety of advice and ideas for new marketing strategies, cost reductions, and ways to run your practice more efficiently. Whether it’s finding new clients or reducing costs, the Law Practice Management Resource page is a great place to start looking for ideas.
- Career Transitions puts important resources for the unemployed in one convenient location. Career transitions includes information about job opportunities and career sites, networking and volunteer opportunities to help make critical connections with potential employers, and resources for unemployed attorneys including guidance to help you explore more options.
- Managing your stress addresses the many negative effects on both physical and mental health, in a down economy. Personal tolls are often ignored or overlooked. This page offers resources and techniques to help cope with the uncertainty, stress, and emotional turmoil these times can bring.
