Who we work with

Built for established law firms.

We specialize in owner-led law firms, where value depends on EBITDA, growth, recurring revenue, management depth, and transferability, not a multiple of gross revenue.

Value you can use today

What makes your firm valuable to a buyer makes it better to own today.

Earnings, growth, revenue quality, leadership, efficiency, and independence create value whether you sell next year or never. Firms outside our typical ranges may still be a fit.

What we look at

The Right Buyer's perspective

Earnings, growth, revenue quality, and transferability scored the way acquirers of law firms evaluate them. We walk through your version of this on the call.

Illustrative example only, not a valuation or an indication of value. Real ranges depend on earnings quality, growth, client mix, structure, and buyer appetite.
