Also possible\, with similar twists and turns. Law firm mergers and acquisitions are made on a regular basis – even when it comes to solos and small firms. In fact\, those sorts of transactions have been on the rise for the last several years. As older lawyers look to retire\, and younger lawyers look to expand their firms – a sale or merger may be just what the doctor (of law) ordered. So\, let’s talk over how it’s done. \nJoin us for this lively program\, when we’ll discuss all the ways that law firm associations can ebb and flow\, as lawyers decide to wind down. \nSpecific topics to be addressed will include:\n-how to plan for a law firm sale or merger\n-actions to take prior to a sale or merger\n-selling to an internal versus external buyer\n-what happens post-sale?\n-what happens if you just want to shut things down?\n-what happens if you pass away while still actively managing your law firm? (yeah\, it’s morbid: but\, we gotta talk about it) \nCREDIT(S): \n1.0 SUBSTANTIVE CREDIT \nSPEAKER: \n \nJared D. Correia\, Esquire\nCEO | Red Cave Law Firm Consulting  \nJared D.

SUMMARY:Staffing Up: Finding and Keeping Legal Talent (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:ONLINE REGISTRATION INCLUDED BELOW.\nCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A REGISTRATION FORM. \nEvent Description \nCurrently\, the job market remains white hot for employees.  That includes attorneys and law firm staff. Of course\, that’s not-so-great news for law firm owners\, who must be at the top of their game\, if they want to acquire and maintain the best talent. Right now\, the biggest problem for many law firms is not case acquisition – it’s talent acquisition. \nAs alluded to\, this is a two-part issue. The first involves finding staff to begin with. And\, before you even broach that subject\, you’ll need to know how much work you have available\, and how much you can pay. Once that’s settled\, you’ll need to effectively advertise a position – and\, you may also have to get a little more aggressive than you think\, in seeking out potential fits. The second part of this process is actually keeping the good people you hire on your staff.  Especially for younger employees: feedback\, incentives and non-monetary benefits are more important than ever. So\, you need to start thinking differently about what motivates your team. \nJoin us for this impactful program\, during which we’ll offer up tips for finding the right attorneys and support staff and keeping them around. \nSpecific topics to be addressed include:\n-creating job descriptions and job postings\n-advertising for new hires\n-selecting candidates\n-building benefits and an incentive plan \nCREDIT(S): \n1.0 SUBSTANTIVE CREDIT \nSPEAKER: \n \nJared D.
