Migrate Your Practice To A New Platform
Joining a new platform entails more than simply resigning and starting a new job. You must negotiate a compensation package with your new employer and, oftentimes, a repayment strategy addressing any existing financial obligations, like promissory notes with your former employer. Don’t let unnecessary obstacles stand in your way when you are ready to make the move.
A successful transition hinges on a smooth departure from your current platform in order to avoid any missteps that could bog you down in costly and unproductive disputes or litigation. At Breakaway Partners, our experienced practice migration attorneys are poised to help walk you through the process, including completing the steps described below.
Negotiation Of Compensation Packages
Once you make the decision to transition to a new platform and understand the value of your book of business in the current marketplace, we will help you negotiate a compensation package that maximizes your potential for success at your new firm. This may include reviewing and analyzing equity and other incentive documents. If necessary, we can provide guidance as you negotiate repayment amounts and schedules on current promissory notes or other financial obligations.
Step-By-Step Transition Assistance
Our San Diego-based practice migration lawyers at [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″] will walk you through the resignation process to minimize the risk of litigation, including reviewing and analyzing documents associated with you or your team’s current employment, likely containing various restrictive covenants that could impact the transition, including:
- Current employment agreements

We can provide appropriate resignation letters that can be modified as necessary for all departing employees and otherwise develop a comprehensive exit strategy for all transitioning employees going along with you to your new platform.
