Three ways a Delaware firm can use its inventory.
Succession capital
Capital so the next generation of partners buys the founders out, repaid from the firm’s fees as cases resolve.
Acquisition capital
Capital for a firm buying another practice or a book of cases, sized on the inventory it acquires.
An outright sale of the practice
The case inventory is valued from the record and the practice is sold, to a buyer we bring or to one you choose.
