Selling a Personal Injury Practice in Florida

If you are a Florida personal injury lawyer who wants to sell their practice, you may have some options. Our personal injury law firm can work with injury lawyers in Florida who want to retire and wind down their law firm.

Retiring from the practice of law can be both stressful and positive. On one hand, you have spent your entire career building up your client base and developing a reputation in the community. On the other hand, you may be looking forward to retiring and spending more time with your family or pursuing other interests.

If you are considering selling your personal injury law firm, there are a few options to keep in mind.

Sell Personal Injury Law Firm in Florida When Retiring

Florida’s Ethics Rules permit the sale of a law practice. Rule 4-1.17 permits the sale of the entire practice, or the entire area of practice, to 1 or more lawyers or law firms authorized to practice law in Florida.

The rules generally require written notice served by certified mail, return receipt requested, on each of the seller’s clients of (1) the proposed sale; (2) the client’s right to retain other counsel; and (3) the fact that the client’s consent to the substitution of counsel will be presumed if the client does not object within 30 days after being served with notice.

If a representation involves pending litigation, the Bar rules require authorization from the court for any substitution of counsel or termination of representation. The seller may disclose, in camera, to the court information relating to the representation only to the extent necessary to obtain an order authorizing the substitution of counsel or termination of representation.

A client may object to the proposed substitution of counsel and could opt to obtain their own counsel moving forward.

Merge a Personal Injury Practice

Another option for a retiring personal injury lawyer is to merge their practice into another. If you want to wind down your personal injury practice as you get ready to retire, or wish to slow down your practice, you may have the option of merging your practice with another personal injury practice. By merging your practice with another, you may continue to enjoy the fruits of your years of labor building your client base and practice. Firm mergers may involve discussions about fee division, client consents, and conflicts of interest, but the overall goal should be mutual. Both the retiring attorney and merging firm should both enjoy a benefit of working together.
