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.
