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.

Richard Cadbury had a brilliant idea- to create a heart-shaped box, embellished with images of Cupid and filled with his company’s new eating chocolates. He even marketed these boxes as having a dual purpose; Eat the delicious chocolates and reuse the beautifully embellished boxes to hold momentous and such.
The Valentines Chocolate Box was born.
There is no question that Richard Cadbury was an amazing entrepreneur and marketer. He leveraged what he had (an overabundance of cocoa) and turned it...
While many of the above questions seem random, and frankly wide in scope, there is, in fact, a calculated reason behind each one. And the countless others that need to be addressed. Historically, custom-designed television media buying strategies have been the driving force behind successful law firm marketing. And to a degree, that still holds true even in today’s digital world. However, it’s the implications of that digital world which call for the above questions.

When most of us think about our clients, one of the first things that come to mind is a mental picture of that client who is being a pain in the proverbial butt. You know, the one you just can’t please – that’s always calling and complaining. (And typically, these are the clients you’ve done the most for or whose case is small enough you regret taking it in the first place). Or maybe you think of the client whose...
