Be it an earthquake, flood, or plant explosion 💥 ... lawyers know that bad things happen. And it’s not always the proverbial asteroid that gets us. Sometimes health issues sneak up, too. Just because we don’t see disaster coming doesn’t mean we are relieved of responsibilities or ethical requirements. As attorneys, our duties under the rules of professional conduct continue even if we can’t. So, what should a respectable attorney do in the face of disaster? Make a plan!
And that plan shouldn’t just focus on the worst. It should also embrace a bright future for retirement and/or selling your practice. After all, knowing the destination is critical to the journey. Don’t leave your next chapter to chance. And certainly don’t leave your family “holding the bag” if you suddenly “kick the bucket” 🪣.
In this webinar, presented by attorney Laurence Colletti, he will discuss happy planning for retirement as well as contingencies for unplanned disasters. He will give you the “playbook” 📘 for future-proofing your law firm and discuss strategies for maximizing its value to potential buyers, all while meeting your ethical obligations to clients and beyond.
In this session, you’ll learn:
Ethical issues stemming from natural & man-made disasters
Proper protection of 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
