The number of law firm combinations and mergers has been building for years and is not expected to slow down any time soon. As law firms see that net growth isn’t enough to stay competitive, they are simply opting to add a lateral or a group of laterals with a book of business. However, to provide the benefits of scale needed to stay competitive, a law firm combination may be a logical option to explore. Depending upon the firm’s objectives, it may be the best way to achieve growth goals such as:

• Benefits of scale
• Meet a client demand by acquiring a new practice group
• Expand a firm’s footprint into a new geographical market
• Strengthen and build depth of an existing practice
