Firms of all sizes are seeing an uptick in divorce and fiduciary litigation. Some lawyers are using the present circumstances as an opportunity to retire or ramp down their practices, while some have never been busier with law practices that are bursting at the seams. As we work behind the scenes from home, those of us who are caring for older parents and/or parenting children are home assisting the children through remote learning and struggling to manage expectations and competing demands 24 hours per day, without the traditional '9-to-5' business day demarcation. Lawyers are experiencing unprecedented anxiety these days and it risks impacting standards of excellence in the practice of family law and fiduciary litigation.

In this program, expert panelists provide in-depth analysis about what is really going on in the firms that concentrate on domestic relations and fiduciary litigation. Learn how to pivot your practice to scale up with agility or to scale down with finesse, and how to advance towards or sunset away from the increased demands of the law practices in this most challenging time.
