In past generations, it was not unheard of for attorneys to actively practice law until the ends of their lives. Oftentimes, it took the death of a partner before colleagues and law practices began focusing on the realities of transitioning from one partnership to another.
Now, it’s different. For various reasons, fewer attorneys work during their golden years the same hours they did earlier in their careers. As a result, both attorneys and law practices must increasingly plan for the transition from the active practice of law to part- or full-time retirement. While every attorney or law practice uses different criteria for deciding when it makes sense to transition, mandatory retirement or forced departure policies play an important role in these decisions.
