ISBA launches association for legal employers

Thursday, October 29, 2020  …..The Indiana State Bar Association (ISBA) has launched the ISBA Employer Association, a new cohort for Indiana’s law firms and legal agencies. ISBA will work in tandem with the ISBA Employer Association to progress the interests of Indiana’s legal-employer practices and provide support and resources at the organizational level.

The ISBA Employer Association was created to address a gap for managing partners, and legal organizations in general. Current bar associations are primarily designed to serve the individual legal professional. Although many provide resources for law practice management, ISBA feels organizations need more support to best navigate the ever-changing legal landscape.

In addition to joining a statewide network of firms and agencies, members will get access to programs and services best suited for their needs. Just a few of those include:

  • Member discounts on organizational training, such as ISBA’s 14-course curriculum designed to help firms develop leaders and build stronger teams.
  • Access to resources specific to firms and agencies, such as ISBA’s COVID response page and our nationally recognized “How to Reopen Your Practice” guidelines.
  • An online community and peer network for managing partners.
  • Access to current and future products, including discounts from our growing list of law-practice solution providers.

The ISBA Employer Association is open to any law firm or agency that has at least 20 percent of its Indiana-licensed attorneys as members of the Indiana State Bar Association. Membership is free for those who qualify.
