WIP, disbursement and practice-area value
Case-load sales
handled with calm, independent
judgement.
For personal injury, clinical negligence and other case-load situations, the work is to understand WIP value, buyer appetite, timing and the cleanest route forward.
For firms that need options under pressure.
Acquira helps maximise value from a practice or caseload sale without tying the firm to a single buyer.

The judgement
Calm after the
storm means
value, structure
and speed.
Case-load sales often begin under pressure: closure, restructuring, a strategic shift, disbursement exposure or a need to fund the next phase of the firm.
The key is independence. If the adviser is not tied to a buyer, the firm can test a wider panel, compare structures and choose between upfront payment, instalments, lump sums and disbursement recovery.
Method
How case-load value
is protected.
Useful advice is practical: buyer access, WIP value,
disbursements, payment structure and timing.
Selected case-load situations
The service cannot be reduced to a single valuation. These examples show why structure matters.
Different pressures need different sale structures.
Alternative funding
A two-partner firm sold PI WIP to focus on employment work.
The firm realised 60% of WIP, received payment for paid disbursements and completed the sale within four weeks.
Firm closure
A large PI practice needed a controlled closing route.
Buyers reviewed the caseload over two months, a substantial WIP offer was agreed and staff transfer was handled through the process.
Restructuring capital
A practice sold older work
to fund restructuring
and systems.
Separate deals for discrete parts of the PI
work raised more than GBP1m and avoided
bank finance.
