Do you want to position your small law firm to be a merger or acquisition target? Even if you don’t, wouldn’t it be nice if suitors came calling, because they viewed your firm as a potential catalyst to help grow their own?

Whether you’re interested in pursuing an opportunity or not, taking the steps required to position your firm as an attractive target will help ensure its success.
