Georgia Legal Accelerator Information Page
This program is intended for attorneys who are currently shareholders or intend to open a law firm within the next three years. The 2022 application season has closed, but we will update this page when 2023 applications are available.
Unlike other programs for lawyers, Georgia Legal Accelerator does not consist solely of legal pointers. Instead, the program is designed to provide you with key insights into successfully launching, managing, marketing, and growing a legal practice. This includes:
Planning (budgeting, banking, and structuring)
Office setup (equipment, supplies, and software);
Staffing (hiring, training, and oversight);
Risk management (insurance, procedures, and compliance);
Marketing (networking, advertising, and online presence);
Client relations (screening, selecting, and closing);
Practice management (systems, automation, and organization);
Mental health (stress management, work-life balance, and finding joy); and
Giving back to the community in meaningful ways.
We will provide this training through 1 on 1 mentoring, small group meetings, and CLE style presentations. You will also receive weekly emails from established lawyers regarding ongoing efforts to grow their firm, including what is working, not working, and how much time/money it costs. These emails will never include requests for money or case referrals.
Like traditional legal training programs, the Georgia Legal Accelerator will also offer education and practice pointers about Georgia law. This includes information that is applicable to every law practice in Georgia, including appellate procedure, ethics considerations, and legal drafting tips.
