What happens when AI collides with small business, M&A, and the future of professional services?

In this episode of The Value Factory, host Nick sits down with Eric Pasifici, founder of SMB Law Group, one of the most innovative boutique M&A law firms in the lower middle market. Eric shares a candid, experience‑driven perspective on how AI is already reshaping legal work, dealmaking, and competitive advantage—and why business owners who wait to engage risk being permanently left behind.

The conversation ranges from real‑world M&A dynamics with founder‑operators (“Bob”), to why commoditized professional services are disappearing, to the hidden risks of using consumer AI tools with sensitive legal information. Eric challenges entrepreneurs to stop asking consultants how to “implement AI” and instead turn AI on their own businesses—using it to elevate positioning, efficiency, and strategic clarity before the window closes.

This episode is essential listening for founders, advisors, investors, and operators navigating exits, growth, and the accelerating impact of AI on the lower middle market.
