We engage selectively with capitalized founders and investors in Mountain View and nationwide:
San Jose sits at the epicenter of Silicon Valley, where M&A activity is dominated by technology acquisitions spanning semiconductors, enterprise software, cybersecurity, and AI/ML startups. The region's deal volume is among the highest per capita in the nation, fueled by both strategic acquirers like Cisco, Adobe, and Apple and a dense network of growth equity and venture capital firms. Hardware and semiconductor M&A is particularly concentrated here, with legacy companies in the $5M-$50M range offering acquirers established customer relationships and engineering talent.
San Jose is among the most competitive M&A markets nationally, with high valuations driven by strategic premium pricing and abundant capital chasing deals. Buyers should expect EBITDA multiples 2-4 turns above national averages for tech companies, though services businesses and traditional industries trade at more reasonable levels.
Silicon Valley's network effects are unmatched: acquiring a company here provides access to the world's densest concentration of engineers, VCs, and corporate development teams, which accelerates growth and future exit opportunities. Despite cost pressures, the region's innovation ecosystem continues to generate outsized returns for well-positioned acquirers.
California prohibits non-compete agreements entirely under Business and Professions Code Section 16600 (reinforced by AB 1076 in 2020), which fundamentally changes employee retention strategy in acquisitions and makes trade secret protections and invention assignment agreements critical components of deal documentation.
A structured, methodical approach to business exit & sell-side law
We assess your corporate records, contracts, and legal standing to identify issues that could reduce your sale price or delay closing, and help you fix them before going to market.
We work with you and your advisors to define your priorities, whether that is maximizing cash at close, minimizing post-closing risk, retaining key terms, or achieving a clean break.
We analyze incoming offers and negotiate letter of intent terms that set you up for a successful transaction, including purchase price structure, exclusivity, and closing conditions.
Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky personally negotiates the definitive purchase agreement, fighting for seller-favorable terms on reps and warranties, indemnification, escrow, and closing mechanics.
We manage the closing process, coordinate with all parties, and handle transition services agreements and non-compete terms so you can exit on your terms.
