The ranks of law firm partnerships include tens of thousands of “baby-boomer” partners (BBPs), born between 1945 and 1955. These attorneys are now ages 50-60.

Each stage of an attorney's career offers opportunities for a curriculum that addresses both the individual's and the firm's need to drive success.
