End-to-end advisory for firms exploring a merger, acquiring a team or practice, or positioning for a strategic combination, domestic or cross-border.
We guide law firms through every stage of a combination, from the first strategic question to the integration that determines whether the deal creates value.
We act as advisor to your firm’s interests, whether you are the acquiring firm, the firm being acquired, or one of two equals exploring a merger, bringing the discipline of institutional M&A to a market where many deals are still done on a handshake.
Define the strategic rationale, the ideal partner profile and the markets to target, then confidentially identify and approach candidates.
Independent valuation of both firms, with modelling of the combined economics, profitability and partner-compensation impact, led in coordination with each candidate’s accountants.
Shape deal structure, governance, naming, leadership and economic terms, bridging the gaps that derail combinations.
Financial, operational, conflicts and cultural due diligence, led in coordination with each candidate’s accountants and your legal and tax advisors.
For founders and partnerships seeking a combination, exit or succession solution that protects clients, staff and legacy.
For firms pursuing scale, new practices, geographies or lateral teams through targeted acquisition.
Transatlantic and international mergers, including the structural and regulatory complexity they carry.
Acquisition of practice groups and lateral teams, valued and structured as the strategic transactions they are.
Every engagement begins with a private, no-obligation conversation about your firm’s goals and how to achieve them in a particular practice area and in the current financial climate.
