In the August 15, 2014 edition of The Lawyers Weekly,  Whitney Borins was quoted discussing taking a break or leave of absence from your practice, and the steps you need to take to ensure a smooth transition. For her full quotes see below:

“Think about this as if you’re leaving the firm completely. Pay attention to the details,” said Whitney Borins, a legal consultant with the RainMaker Group in Toronto.”

“It would be like you are going to another job,” said Borins. “Lawyers need to plan for this, especially if you’re coming back. The transition needs to be smooth.”

“Once you pass clients off, they may not come back even if that was the agreement,” says Borins.”
