Successful Succession: Make a Plan for Your Firm

Sometimes, cessation of a firm is unexpected. Absent advance planning, the consequences of a sudden stoppage of work can result in chaos for clients, colleagues, and family members. Reduce uncertainty and make a succession plan. The CLE will discuss topics related to transferring ownership of a firm, as well as what ethical duties you owe in this situation.

This webinar will be available for purchase until March 28, 2025.

Subscribers have 10 days from the date of purchase to complete the webinar. After 10 days you will no longer have access to the webinar and will not be able to claim the CLE hours.

Active Nebraska attorneys are required to complete 10 hours of continuing legal education (CLE) each year. Two of those 10 hours must be in the field of professional responsibility (ethics). Nebraska attorneys may claim only 5 hours of distance-learning CLE per year. Webinars viewed on this portal are considered distance-learning. Under the new MCLE reporting process, the NSBA will report your attendance for this program, which will be automatically updated into your transcript. The NSBA has 30 days to report your hours to Nebraska MCLE, and your transcript may not update immediately. You are no longer able to log your own hours in your transcript; they must be reported by the sponsor.
