Synopsis

For law firms, succession is a fact of life: founding partners retire, rainmakers depart, and in the meantime, client relationships must be preserved. Passing the Torch without Getting Burned: A Guide to Law Firm Retirement and Succession Planning is a comprehensive examination of the key economic issues typically encountered by law firms when they consider how partners end their careers, as they inevitably must. Peter Giuliani, an experienced law-firm management consultant, illustrates common retirement issues and their resolutions through "real life" case studies from his years of consulting experience. This book will help you:

  • understand the basic economics of retirement and succession planning;
  • take care of founding partners upon their retirement;
  • bring new partners into the firm;
  • select a retirement plan that's best for your firm--and make it affordable for employees;
  • weigh the costs and benefits of mandatory retirement;
  • consider "emeritus status" alternative retirement plans;
  • integrate compensation plans with retirement policies;
  • think about selling your law firm; and
  • understand special considerations for contingency-fee practices.
Passing the Torch without Getting Burned: A Guide to Law Firm Retirement and Succession Planning also includes retirement policy forms and sample language for partnership agreements.
