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.

M&A From the plane…Can someone help me plan my trip? Over the years I have spoken to what seems like lawyers who practice every discipline of law. However, one of the areas that I seem to run into more than others is those practicing 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 & 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄. This is an area of law that has significant overlap with M&A and business ownership in general due, in part, to T&E lawyers having clients who are private business owners. In fact, if you are a business owner, having your estate plan well thought out and set up correctly is one of the most important things you can do for both your family and your business. However… I am also surprised how often T&E lawyers are not aware of how much help they can get from investment bankers in many of the areas where their business owner clients need advice or help. Let’s look at some of the ways in which investment bankers and Trust & Estate lawyers can work together for the betterment of their clients: 𝟭. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝟮. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝟯.
