Business Description
Established Law Practice with Affluent Clients & Recurring Revenue
Founded in 1992, a well-established boutique law practice specializing in estate planning, estate and trust administration, probate, business law, and tax planning. For more than three decades, the firm has built a reputation as one of the leading estate planning practices in the Greater New Haven market, serving high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners, and fiduciaries through long-standing referral relationships with attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and existing clients.

The practice generates revenue from a diversified mix of legal services, led by Estate Planning (46%), Estate Administration (27%), and Trust Administration (16%), creating a balanced combination of transactional work and recurring fiduciary engagements. The firm's mature trust administration portfolio provides an ongoing stream of recurring revenue while estate planning naturally feeds future estate administration work, creating a self-replenishing client lifecycle.

Financially, the firm has demonstrated strong profitability, generating approximately $1.53 million in trailing twelve-month revenue and approximately $665,000 of adjusted EBITDA, representing a 43.4% EBITDA margin. Following operational changes after the departure of a former partner, the practice has returned to consistent growth.

The firm's competitive position is supported by more than thirty years of market presence, an experienced legal staff with lengthy tenure, established operating systems, modern legal technology, and a broad referral network that continues to generate new matters without formal advertising. Demographic trends further support future growth as an aging population increases demand for estate planning and estate administration services while many competing estate planning attorneys approach retirement with limited succession planning.

The seller is pursuing retirement but remains flexible regarding transition timing and is willing to remain involved for an extended transition period to ensure continuity of client relationships and operations. Additionally, the affiliated real estate, which houses the firm's long-term office location, is available for purchase as part of the transaction, providing an opportunity for buyers seeking both the operating business and the underlying real estate.

Facilities & Assets
A detailed asset list is available, including approximately $40,000 in furniture, fixtures, computer equipment, printers, a phone system, and a copier. The transaction is expected to include up to approximately $107,000 of normalized working capital, subject to adjustment at closing. The seller will retain excess cash and other non-operating assets and will settle all debt and non-assumed liabilities at closing.
The firm occupies a 3,000-square-foot, two-story commercial office situated on approximately 33,000 square feet of land. The facility includes a reception area, three conference rooms, six private offices, three bathrooms, and approximately 2,800 square feet of basement file and supply storage. The Firm currently pays $4,500 per month under a net lease that runs through December 31, 2029, with renewal options; rent is normalized to a $5,000 monthly market rate.
Real Estate: The land and building are not included in the asking price and may be acquired separately for $950,000.
Market Outlook / Competition
The Firm does not employ a traditional outside sales force and generates new matters primarily through word-of-mouth referrals, repeat clients, and relationships with attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors. Its reputation, service quality, specialized capabilities, and longstanding community presence are the primary drivers of new business. A new owner could supplement the established referral model with a formal marketing plan, targeted digital outreach, referral-source management, and additional administrative support to increase capacity and attorney productivity.
Opportunities for Growth
The practice is positioned for continued growth as an aging population increases demand for estate planning, estate and trust administration, and business succession services, while many competing estate-planning attorneys approach retirement without succession plans. Revenue has increased from approximately $913,000 in 2024 to $1.07 million in 2025, $1.53 million on a trailing twelve-month basis, and approximately $1.85 million annualized for 2026. This growth has been achieved largely through repeat clients and referral relationships, with limited formal marketing. A buyer could expand the practice through targeted digital marketing, structured referral management, additional administrative support, and greater penetration of the existing high-net-worth and business-owner client base, creating opportunities for additional estate, trust, tax, corporate, and succession-planning work.
