Frequently Asked Questions About M&A Legal Services

Find answers to common questions about our M&A legal services

What types of deals do you handle?
Buy-side acquisitions, sell-side exits, SBA-financed purchases, PE add-on acquisitions, franchise acquisitions, and securities transactions including Form D filings, blue sky compliance, and reverse mergers. Deal sizes typically range from $300K to $25M+. If your transaction involves a letter of intent, purchase agreement, or SEC filing, we handle it.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the transaction type, deal size, and complexity. We define scope and pricing in writing before any work begins. You know what you are paying for before we start. No open-ended billing.
How long does a business acquisition or sale take?
Most transactions close 60 to 120 days after the letter of intent is signed. Timeline depends on deal complexity, diligence findings, financing conditions, and how prepared both sides are. We set realistic expectations on the first call.
What does the engagement process look like?
You tell us about your deal. We review the details and determine fit. If we can help, you receive a written scope of work and pricing. Once engaged, we handle every legal stage of your transaction from LOI through closing and post-closing matters.
Do I need an M&A attorney or can my business lawyer handle this?
M&A transactions have specialized terms that general business attorneys rarely encounter: indemnification caps, earn-out triggers, working-capital adjustments, rep and warranty survival periods, escrow holdback provisions. Each of these directly affects what you pay or what you keep. Experienced M&A counsel knows which terms to negotiate and what they cost you.
