Frequently Asked Questions
How do bankruptcy law firm partners handle buy-sell agreements given income variability?
Buy-sell valuations for bankruptcy practices typically use a rolling 3-year average of revenue to smooth economic cycle fluctuations. The agreement should specify a clear valuation method and be reviewed annually.
Can a bankruptcy attorney get key person insurance even if their income varies significantly by year?
Yes. Coverage amounts are typically based on an average of recent income years rather than the most recent single year. Income variability in counter-cyclical practices is understood by carriers and does not prevent coverage.
What happens to pending bankruptcy cases if the attorney dies without a succession plan?
Pending cases require immediate attention — courts may appoint successor counsel or require the estate to make arrangements. A succession agreement designating a referring attorney or firm is the most common approach. Life insurance proceeds fund any transition costs.
