Some Law Firm Growth Strategies are not for the faint at heart – but bold moves can yield huge returns – especially when it comes to Law Firm Growth by Acquisition.
Here’s what we know right now: There’s never been an easier time to obtain equity or SBA Fund Financing for law firm acquisitions than today. In years past, these companies perceived law firms as too risky – or speculative to value. Not so in 2022. More available cash means growing your law firm but purchasing another firm has become a viable option.
And to create the perfect storm – in a good way – significant numbers of baby boomer law firm owners are reaching retirement age and looking for their Exit strategy.
The convergence of these two marketing dynamics can result in a powerful Law Firm Growth Strategy if you are willing to seize the opportunity.
Now comes the disclaimer – Buying a Law Firm is significantly more complex than purchasing a vacation home. There are a number of key issues to consider –
First off, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. If you are already struggling and don’t have positive revenues as well as systems and processes in place for scalable growth – then the Growth by Acquisition strategy isn’t a wise move. If you fall into this category, your first matter of business is to get your existing “house” in order before thinking about buying another firm.
However, if your firm is running smoothly, and on the upswing already, then buying another law firm may well be your fast-track ticket to greater growth.
Finding the right law firm to purchase – and knowing how to properly value a prospective firm is critical. While purchasing a strong firm can catapult your growth, purchasing the wrong firm can create immeasurable headaches and financial drain. There are numerable factors that go into evaluating a prospective law firm. You will need to peruse financial data carefully and have a clear understanding of how that firm operates, and their existing case inventory. You need to understand their current place in the market, their branding, etc. You need to be aware of any problems the firm is experiencing, so you are able to go into the deal with your eyes open.

If we are serious about living out our core values as a company, then it seemed that core Value #4 gave us the plumb line. If we had opted for a hybrid- like vaccines, or a negative test within the last 72 hours- it simply didn’t seem tenable. We imagined attendees trying to get a test the day before they flew out to New Orleans, and then trying to scramble to get another test during the Conference. That presented a...
Yes, you read it correctly. Google Searches for Businesses “Near Me” rose 500% in the last several years, according to recent stats. And the stats keep going up. This isn’t just huge for restaurants and retail stores. It’s big news for any business, including law firms. If you are a law firm owner and want to dominate your market, this latest data is almost – and in some cases, MORE important than amassing Online Reviews. In fact, I’d say this...
And law firm owners – like business owners all across the globe, have become forcibly versed in the “Pandemic Pivot.” Never before has the sink-or-swim mentality been more relevant or necessary for law firm viability. For almost two years, it has been “Pivot, or Perish,” in steroid mode.
A few weeks ago, I attended the PILMMA Super Summit in Washington DC. The Summit was originally slated for the Ritz Carlton Hotel in...
Data is powerful because it allows you to make improvements as you go. Not only does it help you understand your customers’ behavior, but it also enables you to predict market behavior, streamline processes, and answer many of the questions you really need answered as a business.
Although data is powerful, consolidating it when it’s scattered around can be challenging to say the least. This is where Google Analytics comes in: It helps you measure your advertising, website, and social channels’...
