Law Firm Exit Strategies

Planning a Smooth Transition

If you’re considering retiring or transitioning out of your firm, TA provides strategic solutions to help you realize the full value of your practice while ensuring continuity for your clients and team.

We follow a structured process to sell your law firm efficiently, confidentially, and for maximum value. If both parties are motivated, we can introduce qualified buyers within 1 to 8 weeks.

Key Steps in the Process

Confidential Consultation

We assess your firm, discuss goals, and provide an estimated valuation.
Financial Review

We analyze your financials to determine a competitive asking price.
Valuation & Pricing

We compare market data to recommend a price that attracts buyers.
Marketing Preparation

We create confidential marketing materials to highlight your firm’s strengths.
Targeted Outreach

We promote your firm through industry channels and a network of qualified buyers.
Buyer Screening

Interested buyers sign confidentiality agreements and provide credentials.

Buyer-Seller Introduction

We connect you with vetted buyers who align with your goals.
Offers & Negotiation

We evaluate and negotiate offers to maximize value and terms.
Letter of Intent

Once terms are agreed upon, both parties sign a letter of intent.
Due Diligence

Buyers review financials, contracts, and firm operations.
Purchase Agreement

Attorneys finalize contract details and resolve legal issues.
Closing & Transition

The transaction is completed, ensuring a smooth transition.

The deal is closed. The seller assists with the transition, helping the buyer manage operations, clients, and staff. Transition periods vary from days to years, with longer ones often including a negotiated salary. Typically, the seller starts full-time and gradually reduces involvement until the buyer takes full control. We prioritize confidentiality, strategic positioning, and seamless execution. Our success is directly tied to yours—we only get paid when your deal closes.
