Planning ahead protects clients and your legacy
Unexpected illness, incapacity, or retirement can leave clients vulnerable and families overwhelmed if a practice is not prepared. Planning isn’t just responsible. It’s ethical.
Clear office documentation, successor planning, and trusted professional relationships ensure continuity for clients and dignity for the lawyer. These steps aren’t signs of winding down. They’re signs of leadership and foresight.
A well-planned practice is easier to sustain and easier to transition when the time comes.
Competence is ongoing, not automatic
Experience doesn’t replace the duty to remain competent. Ethics rules across jurisdictions make it clear that lawyers must stay informed about changes in the law, technology, and practice standards that affect their work.
Competence today includes understanding digital workflows, electronic filing systems, and remote court procedures. Lawyers who proactively adapt reduce risk, protect their reputation, and preserve their independence longer than those who rely on outdated processes.
Staying relevant isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about maintaining professional control.
