You’ve Built a Successful Firm.Â
But Can It Run Without You?Â
 80% of law firms are unsellable — effectively worth $0 — because they depend too heavily on their founder.
 We help you turn a founder-reliant practice into a business that can thrive — and sell — without you.
We help law firm owners like you transform what you've built into a valuable, self-sustaining asset that you can step back from, scale, or sell on your terms.
You’ve Built a Successful Firm —
But It’s Still All on You
 You’re not just an attorney. You’re the rainmaker. The manager. The safety net. The one who can’t get sick. Can’t take a real break. Can’t even imagine stepping away.
Â
Most law firm owners we work with feel stuck between two uncomfortable truths: You’re not ready to walk away yet. But you can’t keep running things the way they are. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
Â
Whether you want to exit in a few years or just get your life back,  we help you protect what you’ve built — and create real options for what comes next.

Real Results from a Firm Just Like Yours
“We had someone in a CFO-type role — and they didn’t give me even one-twentieth of the clarity I got from one call with Brian. This is exactly what I’d been looking for — someone who understands what matters to buyers and to me.”
— FL-Based Estate Planning Firm Owner
What stood out about Brian was how direct and strategic he was. He didn’t just give advice — he mapped out exactly what buyers care about and how to build toward that.
We’ve made changes that increased value and freed me up. Now I’m in a place where I can grow, sell, or step back — without burning it all down.”
