Targets include law firms and boutique practices, plus legal services providers such as eDiscovery/eLitigation firms (e.g., elaw), managed review and staffing providers (e.g., Hire Counsel), litigation support specialists (e.g., Jury Impressions), and niche compliance or resolution businesses (e.g., lien resolution at Juraspring).

Yes. For example, Carta’s acquisition of Avantia is positioned around integrating AI-native contracting and compliance workflows into Carta’s ERP; Consilio also focuses on integrating and expanding eDiscovery/eLitigation delivery through elaw.

Is investor capital structure (like continuation vehicles) part of these acquisitions?

Some transactions do. Align Capital Partners closed a single-asset continuation vehicle supporting the growth of Proceed, and an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners completed a continuation vehicle for Fletchers Solicitors.
