What makes a law firm truly successful—and how can private equity help take it to the next level? 

In this episode, Jeff Zindani interviews Axel Koelsch, Chief Operating Officer of Law Front, on the group’s distinctive approach to law firm consolidation.

Whilst Axel doesn’t give away the “secret sauce,” he explains what really matters: spotting high-performance drivers, steering clear of cultural red flags, and scaling only from strong foundations. Law Front’s model is about backing regional leaders—already champions in their markets—then giving them the platform, technology, and national reach to grow, while keeping their identity and culture intact.

The conversation also covers the crucial first 100 days after acquisition, the evolving role of private equity, and how AI and innovation will transform efficiency and value. Axel’s advice to law firm leaders? Be ambitious, think ahead, and ask whether private equity can help you get there.

A must-listen for anyone interested in the future of legal growth and investment.

Our launch episode drops on Wednesday 24th September at 1pm
