Home Committee on Law Practice Continuity Home

Welcome to the Law Practice Continuity Committee Web Site

This Committee serves the public and the profession by:

• helping attorneys prepare for retirement, disability or other planned or unplanned interruptions in the practice of law
  
• encouraging estate planning for your law practice
  
• providing assistance with transitions when a solo practitioner dies or becomes disabled
  
• providing speakers for NYSBA and local Bar Association CLE programs
  
• assisting local Bar Associations in establishing and administering professional continuity committees
  

Planning Ahead In 2005 the NYSBA published Planning Ahead, which was written by Law Practice Continuity Committee members. This book may be downloaded or purchased by accessing the link which appears on this page.  Planning Ahead includes materials and forms to assist attorneys in preparing an advance exit plan to protect client interests in the event of disability, retirement or death.  It is probably the most comprehensive book on this subject which has been published in the United States.
