Common questions

Is it really okay to send a belated farewell message to a lawyer?

Absolutely! While timely goodbyes are ideal, a sincere belated message is always appreciated. It shows you care enough to reach out, even if life got in the way of an on-time farewell. Lawyers, like anyone, value recognition and well-wishes.

What's the best way to deliver a belated going away message to a former legal colleague?

Email is often the most practical and least intrusive method, especially if they've already moved on. A handwritten card is also a thoughtful touch if you have their new mailing address, but email ensures the message reaches them directly without delay.

Should I acknowledge the belatedness in my message, and how?

Yes, it's always best to briefly acknowledge the delay. Phrases like 'My apologies for the belated message,' 'I know this is a bit late, but,' or 'Just catching up on the news' are perfect. This shows self-awareness and makes the message more genuine.
