Can anyone recommend some good law firms that are open to success based fees / alternate fee arrangements for roll ups.

Thanks

Hey Jeremy, be careful around this. Contingent fee structures can definitely work, but if you are doing a deal for the first time, the quality of the advice you receive is critical. Not saying fee structures like this automatically damage the quality of advice you receive, but would encourage you to be mindful about the incentives you create for your most trusted advisors. If there is a material reason to kill your deal before closing, you'd hope your advisors would advise you to do so. Congrats on making progress towards getting a deal done. I just finished a 5 year ETA project and had tons of lessons learned along the way. Feel free to reach out if there is anything I can do to help you succeed.

Joe Spina, who came recommended by several searchers in the Acquisition Lab, has attractive fee structures. In certain instances if the deal dies, he will discount the fees substantially and roll them to the next deal. It's not a contingent fee arrangement, which as others have noted is rare for transactions, but it's certainly fair and helps de-risk for the searcher. redacted
