Tell your bosses first, and then anyone you’re doing work for or are close to. But don’t give notice before clearing conflicts, etc. Be flexible within reason regarding whatever close out activities the firm wants you to do. Prepare transition documents for your team as appropriate for your role/practice.
Tell everyone that you enjoyed working with them, learned a lot, and would like to stay in touch. No matter how tempting it is, avoid bad mouthing or criticizing anyone. Don’t let them make retention counter-offers unless you would seriously consider staying.
Some people are assholes and there is not going to be anyway to please them. Don’t let them upset you or make you feel guilty. Chances are those people are the same ones that would not think twice before firing you.
Excellent advice!
