Expectations: Practice Owners
and Prospective Associates Discussion Format

Author:  Randall K. Berning, J.D., LL.M.

This monograph provides a format for both practice owners and prospective associates / partners to discuss the expectations each party has to developing a practice relationship. This is a critical part of laying a well developed foundation for the immediate relationship and also for the future. Not only is the approach to an expectations discussion provided but also sample questions. Unless the process of stating expectations and using a well developed set of steps is used you risk miscommunication, prolonged discussions or negotiations and potentially the loss of trust. Avoid all of the foregoing by slowly and carefully building your practice relationship foundation by using the suggestions to guide you. A successful associateship starts with an expectations discussion and this Special Report will provide what you need.
