Financing Solution Advances Ownership Transition and Firm Continuity

BUFFALO, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2026 / A plaintiff litigation firm secured a $30 million+ financing transaction from a large alternative asset manager to support internal succession planning, with capital structured to enable the transition of ownership to the next generation of partners. The transaction was supported by a portfolio of single event personal injury matters and reflects a specialized application of litigation finance to law firm ownership and continuity planning.

Counsel Financial acted as originator and structuring advisor to the firm, working closely with leadership to design and execute a financing solution that enabled senior partners to monetize equity while positioning the firm for long-term continuity and growth. In addition to originating the transaction, Counsel Financial introduced and coordinated capital provider engagement and due diligence workstreams, reviewed key terms, and facilitated specialized tax counsel to support deal execution.

The financing provided the necessary capital for junior partners to acquire meaningful ownership interests, aligning incentives and supporting the firm's ongoing operations and development.
