A Conversation with Kindleworth
Episode 112
Friday, 19 December, 2025
This week, Linzi was joined by Michael Estill and Sam Nicholls from Kindleworth to explore why more partners are leaving big law to launch boutique firms — and what it really takes to make a successful spin-out work. Drawing on Kindleworth’s experience supporting dozens of new firm launches, they unpack the motivations behind going independent and the realities partners need to confront before taking the leap.The conversation also looks at how to assess whether a spin-out is genuinely viable versus moving firms and how Kindleworth’s operational model differs from traditional big law support. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on platform firms and specialisation, and practical advice for lawyers who are “thinking about it” but haven’t yet made the move.Thank you for Listening!
