Pros & Cons of Buying a Law School
An acquisition can be a great way to enter law school ownership. But it's important to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of buying a business before you decide on either an acquisition or startup approach.
PROs: A good law school will deliver revenue and ROI from day one. Even more, the right law school acquisition can place you in a market leadership position from your first days as a business owner.
DRAWBACKS: Acquired law schools sometimes have entrenched processes and systems that run counter to your business objectives. If an acquisition target appears unmalleable, move on to another prospect.
