Buying or Selling a Law Firm Can Be Scary. Your Advisor Shouldn't Be.

You're a brilliant trial lawyer. You know how to win in the courtroom. But a private equity deal? That's a different world entirely. Trying to navigate it alone is a recipe for leaving money on the table…or worse. We act as your confidential consultant and advocate, pointing out the things you haven't considered, from deal structure to long-term tax implications, bringing clarity to the chaos.

Hear from a firm owner who has been in your shoes.

“It was a scary process, but Tim was there to be our consultant, to point out things we didn't even consider... I strongly suggest that if you're going to go down this path, make sure you get a consultant. The best one I know is Tim McKey.”
