Scale Through Acquisition or Plan Your Exit on Your Terms: A Guide for Firm Owners
Most firm owners don’t think seriously about buying or selling their practice until they’re already in the process. The reality is, it’s not as simple as it looks and winging it gets expensive. The firms that get it right are the ones that come in prepared, with the right systems already in place. In this session, Will Hamilton, founder of SmartPath and VP at Smartvault, who has advised more than 1,800 firms across the U.S., walks through what successful practice transitions look like today. Drawing from both sides of the table, he’ll break down how firm owners can approach acquisitions or exits with clarity, confidence, and a plan that holds up under real-world conditions.
