3: Exit Strategies for Consultants with Bill Bierce

Episode notes

Bill Bierce is the founder and managing attorney of the law firm Bierce & Kenerson . This is an interesting story in its own right, but for our purposes, Bill is also an expert on what happens when professional service firms experience trauma: when partners fall out, when M&As go wrong, and when governance is found wanting. He is the author of the book Smarter Business Exits which incorporates many of his learnings over and long and illustrious career. I personally learned a huge amount from Bill’s experiences with the legal aspects of firm growth and on finishing the interview, immediately organised a governance meeting with my own partners, to implement some of his recommendations.
