Attоrney Zeke whо wаs а sоle prаctitioner in State A decided to sell his law practice. After the sale, Attorney Zeke planned to cease practicing in State A and move across the country to State B, where he was licensed and where he intended to begin practicing. Two different lawyers contacted Attorney Zeke and made offers to purchase the law practice. In order to establish the value of his practice, Attorney Zeke permitted the lawyers to review his books and client files after each signed a confidentiality agreement. Attorney Zeke decided to sell his law practice to the lawyer offering the higher purchase price. Attorney Zeke notified his clients of the proposed sale, informed them of their right to retain other counsel or take possession of their files, and informed the clients that he would assume that they consented to his transfer of their files if they did not take any action or object within 90 days of receipt of the notice.Was Attorney Zeke's conduct proper?
