Unlocking Capital for Law Firms

Описание: Discover how trial lawyer–turned–banker Ari Kornhaber is transforming the way law firms grow and fund their success. In this episode, host Kevin Daisey dives deep into the business side of law with Ari, now EVP of Esquire Bank, who helps contingency-fee firms unlock cash flow, finance case costs, and scale without using their own money.

Ari and Kevin also explore the future of law firm ownership, including how private equity, MSO structures, and smart succession planning are changing the game for firm owners nationwide. Learn how attorneys can structure their businesses to attract investors, plan exits, and ensure long-term value—without violating ethics rules.
