A Practical M&A Integration Approach for Law Firms
Charting the path to sustainable, profitable growth is not easy. From strategic analysis to execution, Alvarez & Marsal has the experience and expertise to help law firms meet the challenges of enabling future growth.
How Do Law Firms Best Achieve Growth?
In an era where growth defines success, law firms constantly face the pressure to sustain and accelerate growth.
For firms that don’t have the time to grow organically or through lateral hires, a strong alternative method to grow quickly is through combination with another firm. Consolidation within the legal industry through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can rapidly create economies of scale, expand practice group capabilities and broaden geographic reach. Firms aspiring to accelerate growth should evaluate M&A as a potential big-bet strategy.
While choosing the right path can be difficult, the real challenge lies in execution. Realizing the full benefit of a M&A transaction requires having a practical approach that can mitigate execution complexities.
