Personal injury attorney John Morgan made headlines recently for considering taking his law firm public.
The Workaround
Most states bar non-lawyers from owning a law firm. Morgan’s reported plan: sell the operations side of his firm to a separate company that private equity can back. It’s a workaround built for a shrinking, increasingly digital industry.
Morgan’s firm brings in $2 billion a year. He spent $350 million on marketing last year. Add another billion from private equity, and that math puts a firm in any market it wants, including Denver.
What That Means Here
Frank Azar built his name in Denver over decades, planting roots here. That local dominance may be the only thing keeping bigger national firms out.
When firms with unlimited marketing budgets start competing for cases here, the people who lose are not the lawyers. They are the clients. The people in pain. The people in our community.
Integrity holds law firms together. The rule requiring lawyers to own their firms exists for a reason. As technology and private equity find workarounds, the concern stops being abstract: imagine Amazon Legal Services backing a firm and steering people toward it on scale alone.
