We engage selectively with capitalized founders and investors in Rye and nationwide:
New York is the undisputed capital of M&A deal-making, home to the largest concentration of investment banks, private equity firms, and corporate acquirers in the world. Lower middle-market deals in the $1M-$50M range are driven by professional services consolidation, healthcare practice roll-ups, and technology company acquisitions. The city's dense business ecosystem creates fierce competition for quality targets, with PE-backed platforms actively seeking add-on acquisitions across the tri-state area.
New York's deal flow is the highest in the nation, but competition from well-capitalized PE firms means sellers often receive multiple offers. Buyers need experienced counsel to structure competitive bids while protecting their downside.
The New York metro area has over 200,000 businesses with employees, creating one of the deepest acquisition target pools in the country. The region's talent density and infrastructure make post-acquisition integration smoother than most markets.
New York's Bulk Sales Act (UCC Article 6) has been repealed, but buyers must still conduct thorough due diligence on successor liability under state tax law, as the Department of Taxation can hold buyers liable for a seller's unpaid taxes.
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.
