My job has been preparing legal files to be closed for the past month or so.

My current boss keeps saying that he'd like to do something
with his client list, like give it to someone interested in
starting their own practice or put the information in a format
someone could use.

Is that my cue to volunteer myself for this list/information?
(I hesitate because prior to this job I had no experience in this particular legal field so I did not imagine that I was the person he had in mind.)

What would you do in this situation?
