Acquisitions

Most small firms in Texas eventually face the same question: what happens when the founder is ready to step away? The traditional answers are unsatisfying. Sell to a competitor and watch your clients get absorbed into a larger practice that does not share your standards. Sell to a private-equity roll-up and watch your firm get stripped for synergies. Wind it down and watch decades of relationships and reputation disappear with a final letter to clients.

We started TX-LW because we thought there was a better answer for the right kind of firm. We acquire small, independent Texas professional services firms outright and continue to operate them as standalone businesses. The selling principal exits at closing. We bring in our own operating team and rebuild the firm on modern infrastructure. The client work continues, the firm name continues, and the standards go up.
