  • This program will offer attorneys a comprehensive overview of the legal, financial and practical considerations of retirement planning. The three-hour program will include presentations in three primary areas of concern to most retirees, i.e. healthcare costs, income and retirement benefits. The program will also help attorneys identify potential issues for New York or dual-state residents, and will include a presentation on the practical and ethical considerations of closing a law practice that will be applicable to many solo and small firm attorneys who may attend the program. The goal of the program is to educate the attendees about the various government and private benefits available to retirees and seniors, to be incorporated into any conversation about planning for retirement.
