Oklahoma City's M&A market is anchored by the energy sector, with a concentration of oil and gas exploration, production, and midstream companies that generate deal activity across the value chain from wellhead services to pipeline operations. The city has diversified meaningfully into aerospace and defense, with Tinker Air Force Base and the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center creating an aviation services cluster. OKC's cost of living (among the lowest of any U.S. metro above 1M population) supports strong margins for acquired businesses across sectors.
Oklahoma City offers a value-oriented M&A market with deal multiples well below national averages, particularly for energy services businesses during commodity downturns. The market is relationship-driven, with local intermediaries and the Oklahoma chapter of ACG playing important roles in deal origination.
Oklahoma's low cost structure, business-friendly regulatory environment, and absence of significant state-level compliance burdens make OKC-acquired businesses highly cash-flow efficient. The metro's energy sector expertise provides a talent pool for acquirers looking to build platforms in upstream and midstream services.
Oklahoma is notable for its near-complete prohibition of non-compete agreements (with narrow exceptions for the sale of a business and partnership dissolution), which means acquirers cannot rely on post-closing non-competes for key employees outside the seller themselves, making retention strategies and trade secret protections essential.
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.
