OBA Sole, Small Firm and General Practice Section and The Enterprising Lawyer Series
Original Program Date: April 27, 2017

Are you interested in retiring or slowing down your practice? Or perhaps you want to transition to being your own boss with your own practice. Hear practical advice from lawyers with first hand experience with buying or selling their law firm. Our panelists will discuss finding a compatible practice, determining fair value of a law practice, hiring a professional to assist with buying or selling, negotiating the purchase price, and considering your payment options. Learn how to prepare your law practice for sale, attract and interview potential candidates, and draft the purchase agreement. Gain tips on transitioning your practice once it is sold, including law society obligations regarding trust accounts, transferring client files, communicating with clients about the transaction, and closed files.
