You've built a great firm and had a great run.
Let's figure out what comes next.

Building a great law firm came with sacrifices and rewards. Now it is time to plan for the firm to continue with a different ownership group.  You may worry that successor lawyers are not ready or about buyout economics.  Unfortunately, if you wait too long, your best people may leave causing clients to lose confidence. 

At PerformLaw, we have lived the challenges with our clients for the past 17 years. We have experienced the economic and psychological complexities of transitioning a law firm.  Whether it is one partner or several, we are here to guide you through the process of transitioning your law firm.  

A transition plan is a strong signal to your best people that it is worth sticking it out
