YES
With few exceptions, the minimum amount of notice
you should give your employer is two weeks. And, if your practice
group is very busy, and your departure would jeopardize the proper
and adequate representation of the clients you serve, you should
give more than two weeks notice and explain the circumstances to
your future employer. At the right time, prepare a short letter
of resignation and deliver it in person to the head of your practice
area. You should then tell each and every attorney with whom, and
for whom, you work. If you have any question as to how to announce
your departure, ask a senior lawyer (preferably a partner), how
to best deal with your announcement.
