Readying Firm For A High Value Carve‑Out

BML engaged the leadership of a legal firm to align people, operation and technology, ensuring they were prepared to sell off their specialist division to interested Private Equity buyers.

A mid-market, top 40 UK law firm was preparing a specialist division for divestment and private equity investment but didn’t know what they needed to operate as a separate entity. We conducted a full discovery of operations, technology, and client processes​ and identified critical risks and opportunities for improvement​. The team designed a roadmap for readiness covering tech, data, and client experience​. They estimated transition and directly attributed value preservation and identified where they could accelerate value creation benefits​ and enhance the value of the sale.

Transaction Readiness

• Accelerated transaction execution and growth, reducing transition by 12 months.

£2m Savings Identified

• Preparing for the sale identified £2million annual operational savings​.​​

Confidence & Alignment
