Any tips on leaving a firm “correctly”? Was about to go “of counsel” with my firm of 6 years, but then another firm whose partners I really respect (and personally like) offered me a partnership position. I predict my current bosses will *flip* (cut off file access immediately, try to beat me to calling my clients, etc.), so how do I set myself up for a successful transition?

Obviously download everything you need. If you’re worried about him trying to beat you to calling clients, check his calendar and look for a window to tell him when he just won’t have the time to go around calling your clients. You can also prepare a merge form to go out as an email to every client, or use a software to pre record voice mails and just deposit them in their voice mail boxes as soon as you tell parter

And sounds like you’ve been practicing long enough for this to not be an issue but if you have a set start date with your next firm make sure that you have enough for expenses if your firm cuts you off right away and you have to skip a pay period at new firm.

Motions

So if I’m drafting a summary judgment I could search the service and find a similar one. If this doesn’t exist.. I think I found the next million dollar idea lol
