The arc of a lawyer’s law practice eventually ends. Ideally, the lawyer is ready and the transition from practice goes according to plan. The State Bar of Texas Law Practice Management Committee has created a toolkit & videos to help with that plan.

Steve Bolden (Chair of the State Bar of Texas Law Practice Management Committee) highlights the Succession Planning Toolkit and the importance of succession planning for young and older attorneys.
