If You Couldn’t Practice Tomorrow, What Happens to Your Clients?

What Happens to Your Practice When You Can’t Practice?
Janeen Isaacson led an August 1 panel at APRL in Chicago examining the succession and practice continuity plans every solo and small law firm should have.

PANEL MODERATOR

Janeen Isaacson

Isaacson Law, Las Vegas, NV

Janeen Isaacson moderated the APRL panel on law firm succession and practice continuity, bringing a perspective shaped by eight years as a Nevada State Bar prosecutor, including service as Interim Bar Counsel.

Having handled more than 100 disciplinary trials and hundreds of formal proceedings, Janeen has seen firsthand the ethical and practical problems that can arise when a lawyer or small firm is suddenly unable to continue serving clients. That experience made her a natural fit to guide a discussion focused on protecting clients, practices, and families when the unexpected happens.
