Succession Planning for Small Firms & Solo Practitioners

Many solo and small firm practitioners invest substantial time and effort into building a successful law practice. Making time for strategic succession planning, however, is critical for those who want to maintain and sustain their business-both in the present and in the future.

In this program, expert panelists provide in-depth analysis about succession planning for lawyers. Hear about practical steps involved to accomplish succession planning for a lawyer's practice; the variety of Rules of Professional Conduct involved with transitioning a law practice to a successor; the BBO's In-House Commissioner Program, which steps in when an attorney unexpectedly leaves their practice for any reason without a succession plan; and more.

Attendees come away with practical and demystified techniques to (i) realize value for a lawyer's practice; and (ii) ensure that a lawyer's clients continue benefiting from competent representation following a lawyer's retirement or unexpected inability to continue practicing.
