A structured, methodical approach to business acquisition law
We review the target business, your acquisition goals, and the proposed deal terms to develop a strategic game plan tailored to your specific situation.
Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky leads a thorough investigation of the target's contracts, liabilities, intellectual property, and regulatory standing to surface risks before you commit.
We structure the transaction to optimize risk allocation and negotiate purchase agreements, employment agreements, and ancillary documents that protect your interests.
We manage the closing checklist, coordinate with lenders and third parties, and ensure every condition is satisfied so your deal closes on schedule.
After the deal closes, we assist with purchase price adjustments, earnout calculations, transition matters, and any post-closing disputes that arise.
We don't take every matter. Here is what happens when you reach out.
Alex reviews your transaction details personally. No intake coordinators, no junior associates screening your submission.
We evaluate whether your deal aligns with our practice. Not every matter is a fit, and we will tell you directly if it is not.
If there is alignment, Alex schedules a direct call to discuss your transaction, timeline, and objectives.
Before any work begins, you receive a written engagement letter with defined scope, timeline, and fee structure. No surprises.

Use these before you call any firm, including ours.
At many firms, a partner sells the work and a junior associate does it. Ask for the name of the attorney who will draft and negotiate your documents.
Volume indicates current, active deal experience, not just credentials from years ago.
A $500K SBA acquisition and a $50M PE deal require different skill sets. Make sure the attorney has handled transactions similar to yours.
M&A transactions require a team. Your attorney should work with your other advisors, not in a silo.
Reps, warranties, and indemnification claims surface months after closing. Ask whether the firm handles post-closing litigation or refers it out.
Hourly, flat fee, or hybrid. Ask what factors increase legal costs so there are no surprises.

Miami has emerged as a major M&A hub driven by the influx of financial services firms, tech companies, and hedge funds relocating from the Northeast. The city's position as a gateway to Latin America creates unique cross-border deal flow in import/export, hospitality, and real estate services. South Florida's rapid population growth is fueling acquisitions in healthcare, insurance, and home services.
Miami's booming economy has attracted significant PE capital, creating competitive dynamics for quality targets in healthcare and technology. Cross-border transactions require counsel experienced in both US deal structures and Latin American business customs.
Florida's explosive population growth (adding 1,000+ residents per day) creates organic revenue growth for acquired businesses, making South Florida targets particularly attractive to growth-oriented acquirers.
Florida enforces non-compete agreements more broadly than most states, with courts applying a 'reasonableness' standard that generally favors enforcement - this gives buyers stronger tools to protect acquired business value through employee retention.

Miami has emerged as a significant M&A hub due to its position as the gateway for Latin American capital and a growing technology and finance migration destination. Cross-border M&A involving Latin American buyers and US targets, or US buyers acquiring Latin American businesses, is a distinguishing characteristic of Miami deal activity. The metro has also attracted hedge funds and private equity firms relocating from New York, adding deal-making capacity.
Miami International Airport is the top US airport for international freight by value. Port of Miami and Port Everglades are major container and cruise ports. The metro is the principal US-Latin America trade gateway.
Recent Weston Deal Signal (2024-2025)
Private equity firms that relocated to Miami from New York completed notable portfolio company acquisitions in 2024, while cross-border M&A involving Latin American targets continued at an elevated pace driven by favorable USD exchange rates and regional growth.
