Whether it’s a landslide impacting your law office, or an unexpected medical event that brings your practice to a standstill, one fact remains: attorneys are not immune from catastrophe. It’s important that we prepare for our futures, whether that means disaster (or, on a happier note) succession planning.
And although you can’t always anticipate a disaster, you can prepare your response and make sure the train stays on the tracks when the unexpected happens. Also be mindful that your ethical obligations do not evaporate just because something, be it natural or manmade, befalls you or your office.
This California MCLE webinar, led by attorney Jordan Turk, is designed to help lawyers like you prepare for a disaster, execute a plan of action in the moment, and resume practicing as quickly as possible. Jordan will share how you can best prepare and respond to disasters, or how to prepare for blessed retirement, with an emphasis on upholding your ethical obligations to your clients and to your firm.
In this MCLE webinar, you’ll learn:
Ethical issues surrounding natural and manmade disasters
How to properly protect confidential information during chaotic events
Tips for mitigating the impact of future disasters
How to look to the future with succession planning
Duration: 60 minutes.
