It’s hard to think about events that could render you unable to continue practicing law. Unfortunately, accidents, unexpected illnesses, and untimely deaths do occur. If any of these events happen to you, your clients’ interests may be unprotected.
This practical, ethics-focused webinar from the Professional Liability Fund is designed for Oregon legal practitioners, especially solo and small firms who often lack the built-in support, resources, and structure of larger firms. The presentation explains why practitioners need a law practice contingency plan and walks through the critical steps required to comply with ethical obligations and reduce harm to clients in the event of death, disability, or illness. Attendees will gain insight into the complexity of closing a law practice with guidance on how to create a sustainable contingency plan that protects clients, as well as practitioners’ families and estates.
Please join Rita Alister, PLF Practice Management Attorney, on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., as she unpacks these issues and outlines the steps to prepare and implement your own contingency plan.
This webinar has been approved for 1 MCLE General credit.
Registration deadline is Monday, July 13, at noon.
