When Should You Appraise or Value a Law Firm?

Law firm owners often need a valuation in situations such as the following:

  • Preparing to sell the practice or explore a transition
  • Bringing in a new partner or structuring a buy-in
  • Buying out an existing partner
  • Planning for succession, even if a sale is years away
  • Evaluating a potential merger or combination with another firm
  • Making strategic decisions about growth, compensation, or the future direction of the practice
