Designing the Future of Your Law Firm: It's a Succession Process, Not a Succession Plan

Product not yet rated

Description: Traditional succession planning gets far too reduced to the basics — for example, Attorney Z will replace Partner X in their role as Practice Leader upon their retirement. Besides being static and inflexible, it fails to take into account the needs of the next generation of lawyers and clients. When succession plans are too focused on roles, they miss the key functions of the law firm that attorneys and clients need to be successful. Ditch the outdated succession plan in the drawer and instead operate from curiosity with your colleagues to imagine the law firm of the future.  

 

Objectives: 

  • Understand the false assumptions behind traditional succession planning and two critical ways it fails. 
  • Learn the mindset needed to approach the succession process.  
  • Utilize key questions to better plan for the future of the firm. 
  • Build the planning process into your firm's existing meetings, spaces and opportunities.
