LAW FIRM SCALE ACCELERATOR PROGRAM
From Local Practice to Global Legal Corporation
Kenya has no shortage of law firms.
What it lacks are scalable legal corporations built for institutional capital, cross-border advisory, and long-term valuation growth.
Growth & Investment Agencies Ltd introduces the Law Firm Scale Accelerator Program (LSAP) — a structured transformation framework designed to take SME law firms and evolve them into regional and global legal powerhouses.
This is not marketing support.
This is corporate transformation.
The Problem
Most SME law firms plateau because:
• Revenue depends on individual partners
• No recurring institutional retainers
• Weak governance structure
• No capital growth strategy
• Brand positioned as “service provider” not “corporate advisor”
• No regional or international integration
Years of work, but limited scale, limited valuation, and limited institutional influence.
The Solution
Most SME law firms plateau because:
The Law Firm Scale Accelerator Program is a 4-phase growth model that converts a traditional practice into a scalable, structured legal corporation.
