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.

Law firm partners and managers need help making management decisions quickly, and they need insightful analysis and business advice. Many suffer from limited access to experienced law firm managers. Their time is short, and without help, decisions are made ad hoc and rely too heavily on instinct. At times they consider outside consultants, but the available options are costly and complicated. PerformLaw developed management support agreements and expertly delivered consulting services to overcome these challenges and provide high-quality business advice to law firms when they need it.
