Get expert help with law firm mergers and legal practice acquisitions. What is the Certified LawMerge Consultant Network? LAWMERGE is creating the legal industry’s first global network of certified law firm merger consultants. Until now, finding an experienced merger consultant has been difficult. Most service providers who claim to offer law firm merger consulting services are typically legal recruiters and headhunters, former law firm managers, or general law firm management consultants. They generally spend very little time conducting, or advising on, mergers. They typically limit services to identifying candidates and making introductions. LAWMERGE is validating the expertise of existing consultants offering law firm merger services to ensure they have a firm grasp of all phases of a successful merger process. For consultants who have limited experience and a strong interest in gaining the necessary expertise, LAWMERGE is selecting, training, and certifying qualified candidates who wish to offer focused merger and acquisition services. Once certified, consultants are added to a global network of experts who collaborate to offer the highest level of service. By joining the network, consultants can substantially increase their revenue, expand their capabilities, and enjoy profit potential otherwise not available. LAWMERGE offers clients the combined expertise, resources, local market intelligence, and confidential merger opportunities of the entire global network. Start a new law firm.
