Be it an earthquake, flood, or plant explosion đ„ ... lawyers know that bad things happen. And itâs not always the proverbial asteroid that gets us. Sometimes health issues sneak up, too.

As attorneys, our duties under the rules of professional conduct continue even if we canât. So, what should a respectable attorney do in the face of disaster? Make a plan!
And that plan shouldnât 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.
