#KnowYourBar: Law Practice Management Program
The State Bar of Georgia and the Law Practice Management Program are continually working to provide our members with benefits that can help both professionally and personally. This article provides a brief overview/ introduction to a number of services that are always available to you.

The Law Practice Management Program (LPM) is one of the Bar's most popular offerings for members. Read on for an overview of some of the many services LPM provides and be sure to take advantage of this member benefit.
Law Office Start-Up Resources/ Office Start-Up Kit
LPM continues to provide free copies of the start-up kit, "Guide to Starting Your Georgia Law Practice," to members. In fact, we have found that the kit is not only beneficial to lawyers looking to start a law practice, but it has also been helpful with general business planning for those members who have already established an office. The contents include thoughts on hanging out a shingle, choice of entity selection, marketing, office automation, trust accounting, social media and more. The kit is available via in-person pick up and mail delivery. To request a copy via mail, log in to your member account, navigate to the store and select the product. Mailed copies require a $5 postage fee. Questions?
