The All Cash Illusion: Why it's not a Free Pass for Sellers

Description

At first glance, an all-cash offer for your law firm might seem like the ultimate win. No seller financing, no earn-outs—just a clean break and a big check. But in this episode our host, Victoria Collier breaks down why that perception is often an illusion.

Buyers who offer all or mostly cash are actually taking on more risk, which means they come with higher expectations, tougher due diligence, and tighter demands for post-closing transition plans. 

Whether you're a seller eager for a fast exit or a buyer ready to invest, this episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what really happens when cash is on the table.

•⁠  ⁠Why a seemingly “perfect” offer might not be as simple—or advantageous—as it appears.
