BigLaw M&A Veteran Thomas Romer Launches Dexterity Law

AI empowers the firm to make top-tier deal counsel affordable for small- and mid-sized businesses

October 29, 2026 - DENVER - Dexterity Law, an expert-driven, AI-empowered M&A boutique practice, proudly announces its official launch. Dexterity Law capitalizes on the scale and promise of AI while avoiding the hype and keeping legal judgment where it belongs: with the lawyers. Accomplished M&A lawyers will deliver sophisticated, affordable representation to small and middle market businesses growing through acquisitions or selling to private equity and other large buyers.

Dexterity Law is led by its founding partner Thomas Romer, a deal lawyer with more than 25 years’ experience at Greenberg Traurig, BakerHostetler, and Brownstein. He is currently vice chair of the ABA M&A Technology Subcommittee. With the formation of Dexterity Law, Romer brings these experiences to removing barriers to affordability and speed that are typical of traditional approaches. 

With a business model that passes AI and tech-enabled cost efficiencies directly to clients and offers an alternative to  BigLaw hourly billing rates, Dexterity Law leverages a tech stack intentionally designed to optimize efficiency in every stage of an M&A transaction, from the initial LOI and NDA, to due diligence, to negotiation and close.

“Our mission is to deliver high-quality, high-velocity M&A work at outcomes-based pricing that is better aligned with client goals and budgets,” says Romer. “This levels the playing field for sellers in the $2 million to $20 million enterprise value bracket, who previously were often priced out of top-caliber representation under a more traditional model. Buyers benefit too, reducing the costs associated with acquisitions without sacrificing the quality they have come to expect.”

The vision behind Dexterity Law is to:

  • Deliver expert services with a team of top tier ex-BigLaw talent;

  • Better serve lower and mid-market deals by offering flexible outcome-based fee arrangements; and

  • Reduce cost and cycle times by leveraging AI effectively and responsibly.

To that end, the firm is fielding interest from like-minded M&A lawyers and has already secured partnerships with M&A management software SimplyAgree and legal recruiting agency Gibson Arnold.  It is also working to formalize referral relationships with leading M&A practices that don’t typically take on smaller clients. 

“Sellers in small and mid-sized deals are often outgunned from a legal representation standpoint,” says Romer. “The efficiency and capability that AI offers can change that equation substantially when used by experienced, tech-savvy M&A lawyers.”
