There is a wonderful convergence of demographics at play today.  More than half of lawyers in Washington are 50 years of age or older.  More than one third of our members are in solo practice.  More than half of our members are in firms of 5 members or less.  There are law students graduating from law school in need of job opportunities.  Learn from both perspectives how to prepare for this opportunity and the  benefits to be gained for all involved.

The Washington State Bar Association in partnership with the Seattle University School of Law, University of Washington School of Law, and Gonzaga University School of Law have launched a system to facilitate the conversation between seasoned attorneys who are thinking of selling and young attorneys and 3rd year law students thinking of purchasing a practice.  This brief session will provide a brief demo of the system and answer any relevant questions.
