Private equity is about to change everything for family law firms.

I just got back from the Business of Law conference in Scottsdale, and what I learned there should worry you.

MSOs and ABS structures are already here. This is what's coming for family law in the next 12-36 months—and I’ll show you how to prepare.

We built Sterling to $17M. Now we're prepping for private equity pressure ourselves.

In this episode, I shared the intel directly from PE firms, the Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice, and the biggest PI players about the three biggest forces converging in family law right now.
