Will your next generation of partners be prepared for smooth transitions as client team, practice, and firm leaders as your senior partners plan their eventual exit?

Successful succession and transitioning planning is a two way street: 1) Senior partners and client relationship managers need to transition clients and responsibilities to selected next-generation partners; and 2) these heirs need to demonstrate the client relationship management, internal dynamics, and business development skills as well as keep growing substantive knowledge to be able to fill the well shined shoes of their seniors.
