If clients create too much risk for your firm or drain your time, energy, or profits—it may be time for them to go. Learn how to evaluate problematic clients and put them on the path to rehabilitation or termination to help reduce risk and make space for those that are a better fit for your firm.

Join the O'Hare Chapter as Deborah Rood, Kathleen Koehl, and Kevin Hayes:

  • Identify situations where client termination should be considered
  • Recognize practices to terminate clients professionally and in a manner that helps lessen the risk of a retaliatory malpractice claim
  • Select new client opportunities that fit the firm’s risk profile
