Mergers & Acquisitions
When looking to sell or buy a law firm, expertise matters
We have unrivalled experience in helping law firms, and investors, who wish to look at external growth strategies, through merger and acquisition opportunities.
Our approach is simple: we look at your specific needs first, whether as a buyer or seller and then prepare a preliminary market insight report identifying key prospects. Unlike other agents we do have strategic buyers who have the experience and financial credibility to carry out a purchase. As a buyer, we have the experience to help you match what you want with potential sellers.
We believe that underpinning this is a shared vision for two businesses, based upon what they could build together, rather than alone

Case Studies
The Deal Makers
Law Firm A
We were retained by a successful 5 partner boutique law firm serving corporate clients and who had been established for over 50 years. They wanted to grow and to find a partner to merge with to ensure growth in other practice areas and to scale up their core areas.
They had previously instructed a well-known corporate advisory practice but who were unable to find a suitable match.
We spent some time with the firm understanding the people, clients and culture and were able to find what they described as a perfect match, bringing together the synergies they had originally identified as being critical for their future.
Law Firm B
We were retained by a 2-partner full-service law firm whose senior partner wanted to retire and where the other partners also wanted to exit but after 2 to 3 years.
We were able to find an excellent regional firm that was prepared to take over the practice and to structure an earn out that worked for all the partners. This allowed a payment on day 1 to the senior partner and a longer earn out plus salaries for the 2 other partners.
Law Firm C
We were retained by a top 100 law firm to acquire a niche litigation practice in the North West and after preparing and agreeing a target list we discreetly approached a small number of firms.
Whilst financial alignment was important to our client, a cultural fit was central to this brief and we were able to find a firm that shared the same values and objectives. We saw this less as an acquisition but more of a small-scale merger allowing the smaller firm to flourish within the larger firm.
