Guide for Exiting, Selling a Law Firm


Jeff Zindani's article in the Law Society's Managing for Success highlights the often-overlooked topic of law firm exit strategies, exploring why many firm owners shy away from planning for their eventual departure. He attributes this reluctance to cultural taboos, biases like over-optimism and present-focused thinking, and a lack of understanding about firm valuation. He stresses the importance of proactive planning, including succession strategies and realistic valuation assessments, to ensure a profitable and smooth exit. He argues that law firm sales should be treated as business transactions, not emotional milestones, and that early preparation can maximise both financial returns and legacy preservation.
