ORLA Practice Sales & Succession

Sell, merge or succeed your law practice β€” confidentially.

You built the firm. When it's time to step back, retire, or grow by acquisition, ORLA brokers the whole thing quietly β€” valuation to handover β€” with the discretion a law practice demands.

βš–οΈ
Led by a licensed Victorian business broker working alongside a lawyer with 14+ years' experience across the legal industry β€” so your sale is handled by people who understand both the deal and the law.
Who this is for

Whether you're leaving, growing, or just curious.

Most suburban principals have no succession plan and no one asking the question. We're the ones who ask it β€” and then handle it.

πŸ–οΈ

Selling or retiring

A sole practitioner or small firm ready to step back β€” we find the right buyer and structure a clean, confidential exit that protects your clients and your name.

Why ORLA for a practice sale

The broker who already knows legal firms.

πŸ”’

Total confidentiality

Nothing is disclosed without a signed NDA. Staff and clients never learn a firm is on the market until you choose. Blind listings only.

βš–οΈ

Broker + lawyer led

A licensed business broker runs the deal; an experienced lawyer covers the parts that trip up generic brokers β€” trust accounts, client-file transfer, practising-certificate and compliance requirements.

πŸ”—

A handover that adds value

We can transition the practice onto the ORLA platform β€” CRM, phones, website, billing β€” so a buyer inherits a modern, running firm, not a filing cabinet. That lifts the price and de-risks the sale.

🌐

A real network of firms

We already work with legal firms across Victoria β€” so we know who's buying, who's growing, and where a good practice will find a home.

How it works

Five confidential steps.

1

Confidential chat

Tell us where you're at. No obligation.

2

NDA & appraisal

We sign a mutual NDA, then value the practice.

3

Engage

A simple broking agreement; mostly success-based.

4

Match, blind

We approach vetted buyers β€” never naming you until they're bound.

5

Deal & handover

Offer, contracts, transition β€” with the legal detail handled.

Strictly confidential

Start a confidential conversation

Nothing goes further without your say-so, and we'll put a mutual NDA in place before any detail is shared.

βœ“

Received β€” in confidence.

We'll be in touch discreetly to arrange a private conversation and an NDA before anything is shared.
