A structured, methodical approach to business sale transaction law
We review the proposed deal, understand your objectives (whether buying or selling), and develop a legal strategy tailored to your specific transaction and timeline.
We structure the transaction to optimize risk allocation, tax treatment, and operational continuity, whether as an asset purchase, stock purchase, or membership interest transfer.
Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky oversees legal due diligence, identifying risks and opportunities that directly inform the purchase agreement and deal terms.
We draft or negotiate the purchase agreement and all ancillary documents, ensuring every term reflects your interests and addresses the specific risks in your deal.
We manage the closing checklist, coordinate with lenders, brokers, and opposing counsel, and ensure all conditions are met for a timely and clean closing.
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.

Orlando's M&A landscape extends far beyond tourism, with significant deal activity in defense simulation and training (the region hosts more simulation companies than anywhere in the world), healthcare, and technology. The I-4 corridor's growth has created acquisition opportunities in construction services, hospitality management, and real estate technology. Orlando's position as the theme park capital drives a massive ecosystem of entertainment technology, food service, and staffing businesses.
Orlando's diversified economy provides consistent deal flow even when tourism fluctuates. The defense simulation cluster creates highly specialized acquisition targets with significant government contract revenue and IP portfolios.
Central Florida adds over 50,000 residents annually, and the region's diverse economy has reduced its dependence on tourism. Orlando's lower operating costs compared to South Florida, combined with strong population growth, create favorable conditions for acquirers.
Florida's favorable non-compete enforcement, combined with no state income tax, makes Orlando particularly attractive for acquirers who need to retain key employees and protect customer relationships post-acquisition.

Top Industry Concentration
Orlando's economy is anchored by tourism and hospitality, simulation and defense technology, and healthcare. Walt Disney World, Universal, and SeaWorld create a hospitality and entertainment M&A sub-market focused on hotel, restaurant, and attraction acquisitions. The metro also has a significant defense simulation and modeling cluster (the world's largest concentration of simulation technology firms) near the UCF Research Park, which generates defense contractor M&A activity.
Orlando International Airport is a major domestic and international tourist gateway and is undergoing significant expansion. SunRail regional rail serves commuters. The metro's logistics infrastructure supports tourism supply chain distribution.
Recent Heathrow Deal Signal (2024-2025)
No verified 2024-2025 metro-specific deal signal found. Orlando's hospitality sector resumed robust performance post-pandemic and represented an active investment target market, but specific company-level M&A transactions at the metro level were not surfaced in research.

"Stock versus asset purchase is the standard tension. Sellers want stock for the capital gains treatment. Buyers want asset to limit contingent liability. Most attorneys treat that as a binary fight. I don't. Every deal is different. The way I structure engagements is to tease out what's actually underneath the stated position. Tax is one issue. There are many others. If you can pull the mechanics, motivations, and desires out on the front end, there's often a structure that gives both parties an outcome they can live with. The diametrically opposed framing falls apart when you ask better questions. That's the art of this work. That's why it's interesting. The middle ground is almost always there. The question is whether anyone has slowed down enough to find it."
