The Law Firm M&A Market & PII Update - round table expert discussion

  The Law Firm M&A Market & PII Update Jonathan Fagan (the writer) was recently invited to attend a round table discussion about the current law firm M&A market, organised by Jonathon Bray Limited , specialists for ABS formations, COLP, COFA outsourcing and risk & compliance, and a company we often recommend to our clients. In attendance were myself (Jonathan Fagan, MD of the Ten Percent Group), Jeff Zindani, MD of Acquira Professional Services, Racheal Eyre of Jonathon Bray Limited, and Gary Horswell, MD of Ntegrity, specialist PII brokers. Summary of the conversation is taken from the Lexology report. Law firm M&A: There are lots of deals going through, but we have no idea how many Jeff reported a buoyant market for law firm acquisitions and mergers.
