Synopsis:
New Jersey attorneys are encouraged to designate a successor attorney for their law practice in the event of unexpected death or disability. Not having a succession plan for your practice is similar to passing away without a Will. In this course, attorneys from the New Jersey Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection will explain why attorneys have an ethical responsibility to have a succession plan for their law firm. Topics covered will include: what is a succession plan, recommendations by the ABA and NJ Court
Rules, how to choose a successor, duties of a successor, drafting a succession plan and possible consequences of not having a succession plan.
