## Resource

In this week's Legal Speak episode, business of law reporter Jon Campisi examines the growing interest in outside investment in U.S. law firms and what it could mean for the legal industry. As law firms look for new sources of capital to support growth and manage cash-flow challenges, investors ranging from private equity firms to litigation financiers are exploring opportunities in the legal sector. Campisi sat down with M&A advisers Chris Batz, David Perla, and Howard Rosenberg to discuss the business models that could allow outside investment in law firms. In addition to weighing regulatory hurdles, the group also discusses how increased access to capital could reshape the future of legal practice in the United States. Hosts: Cedra Mayfield & Patrick Smith Reporter: Jon Campisi Guests: Chris Batz, David Perla & Howard Rosenberg Producer: Charles Garnar
