Description

Selling a law firm is rarely simple—but when there’s more than one owner at the table, things get exponentially more complex. Whether you’re in business with a professional partner, your spouse, or both, this episode unpacks the hidden challenges of shared ownership and why “twice the brainpower” doesn’t always equal twice the ease.

Victoria Collier draws from firsthand experience to explore why deals between co-owners often fall apart, even with the best of intentions. She pulls back the curtain on the emotional, structural, and financial landmines that make partnership exits uniquely difficult—and why early alignment isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever wondered how to sell a firm without losing your mind—or your relationship
