Like the attorneys he works with, Roy is a lawyer with more than 40 years of practice experience—in law firms, large and small, as well as in-house counsel. Over the past 20 years, he has worked as an attorney coach and law firm consultant. For more than a decade, that consulting has focused on advising solo practitioners and small-firm owners on succession planning and brokering the sale of their firms when needed.
In the early 2000s, after more than 20 years of practicing law, Roy made the career transition from practicing lawyer to lawyer coach and consultant in the areas of business development and practice management. After a few years as a generalist, he quickly realized that many of his boomer-aged clients had a problem: while they had spent their careers helping clients with life and business transitions, they were largely unprepared for their own transition out of practice. Roy then he began to focus his consulting efforts on law firm exit strategy and brokerage.
Over the past 15 years, he has worked with all-sized firms, rural and metropolitan, from Alaska to Florida, and in virtually every practice area.
He has assisted more than a hundred attorneys in capturing and maximizing the value of their practices. He knows how to appraise a legal practice, how to find the right successor internally or externally by brokering the sale, and the most effective way to put together a deal.
Roy’s experience in the legal field, both as a practitioner and a coach, means he truly understands the ins and outs of selling a law practice. Given his experience, he also understands:
End your career on a high note by obtaining money for your practice, while providing peace of mind for your family, your staff, and your clients. That’s what Roy helps lawyers achieve.
Roy is a prolific speaker and blogger. He travels around the country speaking at CLEs sponsored by bar associations on topics such as selling law practices, succession planning and more. He’s a regular contributor at attorneyatwork.com.
