Resources to support you in your legal practice
The practice of law does not come with a handbook. Through Legal Services Support (LSS), we are committed to helping you navigate all stages of your unique practice ‘life cycle’.
Whether you’re opening your practice, looking for practice guidance, succession planning, or seeking to understand your professional and ethical obligations – we have resources to assist you.
Are you seeking a specific practice resource? Connect with our Legal Services Support team at lss@nsbs.org.
