Presented in cooperation with the NJSBA Leadership and Experience Council

Navigating the later stages of your legal career requires careful planning, whether you are considering retirement, scaling back your hours, or transitioning to a new practice model. This seminar is designed specifically for experienced attorneys facing these pivotal transitions, offering practical guidance on how to handle late-career decisions. The program features a moderated interview with a practitioner who successfully launched a solo practice after transitioning from a larger firm, providing real-world insights into late-career pivots. Attendees will also gain insight into how to leverage critical New Jersey Lawyers Assistance Program (NJLAP) resources tailored for solo practitioners and transitioning attorneys.

As an attendee, you'll walk away better equipped to handle whatever comes your way in your practice and successfully navigate the next chapter of your professional life. Be sure to join in person for a chance to network with your colleagues.
