Bronx Premises Liability and Personal Injury Law Firm with 60-Year Legacy

About the Firm

High-margin New York City personal injury practice with a proprietary and ethically compliant intake system, approximately 600 active cases, and seller’s discretionary earnings margins of 65-75%. This second-generation family practice, with a 60-year legacy, has built a dominant position in premises liability, including slip-and-fall, ceiling collapse, scalding hot water, lead paint, and bed bug cases. Its Spanish-speaking staff and deep roots have made it an institution in the community.

Approximately 80% of the firm’s caseload is generated through its proprietary system without reliance on billboard, television, or paid digital advertising. The remaining 20% comes from former clients and attorney referrals. The firm operates a lean, systems-driven model with a small in-office team and approximately 15 outsourced support staff who have been personally trained by the firm over the past 15 years and are proprietary to the firm, running on defined workflows that do not depend on any attorney’s day-to-day involvement.

Financial Highlights

  • Annual Revenue: $3.3M - $4.4M (trailing three full years)
  • Seller’s Discretionary Earnings: $2.1M - $3.3M (65%-75% margins)
  • Active Cases: Approximately 600 open matters
  • Estimated Future Fee Revenue in Active Inventory: $20M+ (based on the firm’s historical average fee per resolved case and current inventory by case type and stage).

Key Strengths

  • Proprietary, ethically compliant system generating the vast majority of the firm’s caseload; a competitive edge that is difficult to replicate
  • SDE margins of 65-75%, well above industry averages for plaintiff-side PI firms
  • Approximately 600 active cases with $20M+ in projected future attorney fees
  • Lean operating model with ~15 outsourced support staff — personally trained by the firm over 15 years and proprietary to the firm — and defined processes at every stage
  • Spanish-speaking staff with deep credibility and community roots in New York’s most active plaintiff courts
  • Systems-driven practice; value is in the infrastructure, not dependent on any individual attorney
  • Partners available to remain post-closing for transition and operational continuity, on terms flexible to the buyer

Growth Potential

The proprietary system provides a competitive advantage that would be difficult to replicate from scratch. Digital marketing expansion through SEO, PPC, and social media represents an untapped channel that could capture significant additional market share in Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. The virtual staffing infrastructure is built to scale.

Ideal Buyer

Personal injury attorneys or firms with New York Bar admission, NY-based firms expanding into premises liability, regional or national PI firms entering the NYC market, or management services organizations and investment groups seeking a high-margin, systematized practice with a substantial pending caseload.

Transition

At least one partner is available to remain with the practice post-closing for an extended transition, including hands-on training on proprietary systems and introduction to referral sources.

Reason for Sale

One partner is seeking to pursue other business interests.
