[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Big law firms are transacting right now with private capital, but there's also smaller law firms that are transacting with private capital. And that's the part of, you know, again, like you guys have been talking about this longer than anybody. Having knowledge of your data, having good systems, right, is what these buyers are looking for. And if you can't tell that, then they lose confidence in the acquisition opportunity. They lose confidence in being your chosen successor. And they would rather look at a better business platform that has that data, has the ability to really tell the full story.

Summary

The speaker notes that both large and small law firms are currently engaging in transactions with private capital. A key factor for attracting buyers is having strong data visibility and reliable operational systems. If a firm cannot clearly present its performance and tell its business story through data, buyers lose confidence in the acquisition and succession opportunity and will favor better-prepared platforms.
