Succession planning is a dirty word in the legal industry. It strikes fear in firm leadership, raising concerns about client retention. Often firms leave it up to the departing relationship partner to crown their successor. But that move is a mistake. Firms need to solicit client input in the succession planning process to ensure the relationship remains sticky, both now and in the future. But client retention alone isn't the only issue firms are facing. A few key considerations: - Money drives behavior. Firms should consider financial incentives for retiring partners to encourage them to transition their clients to the next generation. - Money alone is often insufficient for a generation of lawyers whose identities are tied to their work. For these individuals, leaning into their legacy is critical. - With retirement, expertise often walks out the door. Firms must invest in ensuring the same level of expertise is offered, particularly in highly specialized areas. Otherwise, the work will also walk out the door no matter how strong the relationship is. Check out this article from Law.com for more insights on how to handle succession planning at your firm.
