Launched in early 2011, Small Firm Innovation focuses on the business aspect of running a law practice, and the nitty gritty of what has made a solo and small firm practice a success.

“Blogging has become an important, even vital, source of information, education, entertainment and inspiration in the legal community. Whether written by practicing lawyers, law students, judges or law professors, blawgs are becoming more bold, more sophisticated and more integrated into the everyday experience of the profession,” said Allen Pusey, editor and publisher of the ABA Journal. “And choosing just 100 of the best from our directory of 3,500 legal blogs is becoming an increasingly daunting task.”
Small Firm Innovation was created in the wake of the financial crisis that forced many fresh law school graduates and seasoned lawyers to start solo and small law firms. Many found themselves unequipped to run a business.
“We started Small Firm Innovation in an effort to help lawyers fill the void between graduating law school and starting their own law firm,” said Gwynne Monahan, editor of Small Firm Innovation. “Our Contributors are incredibly helpful and generous in sharing their knowledge of creating and running a successful solo or small law firm. We’re honored to be included in the ABA Journal’s Blawg 100.”
