Date: August 11th, 2026 8:06 PM Author: (*)> (i'm in your city) Well, when they considered this at my old firm, the existing equity Partners were in line for a like $40 MILLION DOLLAR BIG WILLIE PAYOUT. The Sr. Assocs and Junior Partners were, however, FUCKED IN THE ASS FOREVER. The firm was to be split into two distinct businesses. But then the deal went bust due to Partner revolt, the firm ended up spending $600m on nothing and it has taken over 3 years to recover.
What size PE firm is interested in buying a shitlaw practice? Some kind of lower market shop? I'm sure you're a RICH AS FUCK SHITLAW KING but not sure how that size of a deal makes sense for PE |

Date: August 11th, 2026 8:17 PM Author: DOCTOR Quintessa Hathaway I never got to the point of actually meeting with PE firms, but there is definitely interest out there.
Why did the partners revolt? |

Date: August 11th, 2026 8:23 PM Author: (*)> (i'm in your city) I suppose it makes sense. The type of PE that buys local dentist offices and whatnot.
The Partners revolted because junior partners didn't want a raw deal, retired Partners didn't want to see their pensions jeopardized, and some Partners just didn't want to sell out. everyone thought they wanted the money, but then some got cold feet when it time to make an actual EARTH SHATTERING move |

Date: August 11th, 2026 10:18 PM Author: DOCTOR Quintessa Hathaway Fascinating. Sounds like it would have been prohibitively expensive to buy all those lawyers out. From the perspective of the PE firm generating a good return, not from the perspective of having the money available.
