Starting a new law firm is a daunting task. Just like with launching any new business, there are a number of administrative and financial tasks to complete. And for lawyers starting a new firm, there can be additional requirements for building a practice, from implementing a conflicts
screening system to setting up accounts for client funds.

Another significant task is deciding what to name the new firm. Naming a law firm involves considerations of ethics and marketing, and, at times, an honest assessment of what type of law practice the lawyer wants to have.
