In the spring of 2023, the ABA Senior Lawyers Division launched a series of 1-hour webinars for older lawyers. The Division will release six of the webinars every year until production of the 24-program series is completed in 2027. They provide essential guidance for the road to retirement.
The webinars feature presentations by consultants, practitioners, and retired lawyers. Topics include personal finance, health insurance, and retirement lifestyles. Viewers can download articles, outlines, and Powerpoints.
The webinars are valuable viewing for planning careers and retirement. Purchase the webinars at the ABA Online Store for $20/program ($30 for non-members). After purchase, access them on demand from your laptop, smartphone, or tablet.
There is no single best path for lawyers contemplating retirement. View these ABA webinars to learn about alternatives, challenges, and opportunities. Future retirement webinars will cover general topics and practice settings like solo, small firm, large firm, in-house, and government agencies.
