Questions to Ask Any M&A Attorney Before Hiring

Use these before you call any firm, including ours.

1. "Who will actually handle my transaction?"

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.

2. "How many M&A transactions has the lead attorney closed in the past 12 months?"

Volume indicates current, active deal experience, not just credentials from years ago.

3. "What is your experience with my deal size and industry?"

A $500K SBA acquisition and a $50M PE deal require different skill sets. Make sure the attorney has handled transactions similar to yours.

4. "Will you coordinate with my CPA, financial advisor, and broker?"

M&A transactions require a team. Your attorney should work with your other advisors, not in a silo.

5. "How do you handle post-closing disputes?"

Reps, warranties, and indemnification claims surface months after closing. Ask whether the firm handles post-closing litigation or refers it out.

6. "What is your fee structure, and what drives cost?"

Hourly, flat fee, or hybrid. Ask what factors increase legal costs so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Skye Canyon clients

What does a business sale attorney do?
A business sale attorney handles the legal side of buying or selling a business. This includes structuring the deal, conducting or managing due diligence, drafting and negotiating the purchase agreement, and coordinating the closing. At Acquisition Stars, Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky is personally involved in every transaction.
Do I need an attorney for a small business sale?
Yes. Even straightforward business sales involve purchase agreements, liability allocation, non-compete terms, and closing mechanics that carry real legal risk. The cost of experienced counsel is small compared to the cost of a poorly structured deal or a post-closing dispute that could have been prevented.
How much does a business sale attorney cost?
Legal fees depend on the size and complexity of the transaction. Acquisition Stars provides personal attention and 15+ years of M&A expertise with the managing partner on every deal. We discuss scope and structure during your initial engagement assessment.
Can you represent both the buyer and the seller?
No. Representing both sides in the same transaction creates a conflict of interest. We represent one party, either the buyer or the seller, and advocate exclusively for that client's interests throughout the deal.
How is Acquisition Stars different from a general business lawyer?
Our practice is focused exclusively on M&A transactions. Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky brings 15+ years of deal experience, which means we have seen and solved the issues that general practice attorneys encounter for the first time. You get specialized M&A counsel with the personal responsiveness of a boutique firm.
How do Nevada non-compete laws affect business sale transaction law transactions?
Enforceable under NRS 613.195 if reasonable. Nevada courts blue-pencil overbroad restrictions. The statute requires that non-competes be supported by valuable consideration. In 2021, Nevada enacted restrictions (SB 47) prohibiting non-competes for hourly employees or employees paid at or below a specified compensation level. Non-competes arising from the sale of a business are given broader latitude.
What are the Nevada tax considerations for selling a business?
Nevada has no corporate income tax, no personal income tax, and no franchise tax. The state imposes a Commerce Tax (0.051%-0.331%) on gross revenue exceeding $4 million, varying by industry. As a community property state, spousal consent may be needed for the transfer of community property business assets. Nevada's favorable tax profile makes it attractive for entity structuring.
Does Nevada have a bulk sales law that affects business acquisitions?
Nevada retains UCC Article 6 (Bulk Sales) under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 104, Article 6. Buyers of business assets must provide notice to creditors at least 45 days before a bulk transfer. Failure to comply makes the transfer voidable by the seller's creditors.
What can I expect during an initial consultation in Skye Canyon?
During your confidential initial consultation in Skye Canyon, we'll discuss your business sale transaction law needs, review your current situation, assess potential challenges specific to Nevada, and outline a clear path forward. We'll explain our process, answer your questions, and determine if we're the right fit for your needs.
Do you work with companies outside of Skye Canyon?
Yes, we represent clients nationwide while maintaining a strong presence in Skye Canyon. Our managing partner handles business sale transaction law matters across all 50 states, coordinating with local counsel where state-specific requirements apply.

M&A Market: Skye Canyon & the Las Vegas Metro

Las Vegas's M&A market extends well beyond the Strip, encompassing a diverse economy driven by hospitality and entertainment, construction, healthcare, and a rapidly growing technology sector. The region's massive convention and tourism infrastructure creates deal opportunities in food services, facility management, and experiential entertainment that are unique nationally. Southern Nevada's explosive population growth (among the fastest in the U.S.) has triggered consolidation waves in healthcare, home services, and commercial real estate.

Top M&A Sectors Near Skye Canyon

  • Hospitality & Entertainment Services
  • Construction & Home Services
  • Healthcare & Specialty Medical Practices
  • Technology & iGaming
  • Food & Beverage Operations

Deal Environment

Las Vegas deal flow is highly seasonal, with hospitality-related transactions often timed around convention and tourism cycles. Buyers should expect higher revenue volatility in hospitality-adjacent businesses but can find attractively priced assets during softer tourism periods. The market has deepened considerably as diversification beyond gaming continues.

Why Acquire in the Las Vegas Area

Nevada's zero state income tax, both personal and corporate, creates an immediate bottom-line advantage for acquired businesses compared to competitors in California or other high-tax states. The metro's 30% population growth over the past decade provides organic revenue growth for consumer-facing businesses, and its proximity to Southern California opens a massive addressable market.

Nevada Legal Considerations

Nevada has enacted one of the nation's most protective LLC statutes, including charging order protection for single-member LLCs, and the state does not enforce non-compete agreements for hourly workers, which is critical to workforce planning in hospitality-related acquisitions.

Nevada Legal Considerations for Business Sale Transaction Law

Non-Compete Laws

Enforceable with restrictions for low-wage workers. Blue-pencil available.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. Bulk sales compliance requires 45-day advance creditor notice. Annual lists (reports) are required with relatively high filing fees. Business licenses are required from the Nevada Secretary of State.

Key Nevada Considerations

  • Nevada has no corporate or personal income tax, making it a preferred jurisdiction for structuring holding companies and acquisition entities
  • As a community property state, spousal consent is required for transfers of community property business interests
  • Nevada Gaming Commission and Gaming Control Board approval is required for any change of control of gaming-licensed entities, with extensive background investigations of new owners

Nevada Bar Authority

Business court: Nevada Eighth Judicial District Court Business Court (Las Vegas) and Second Judicial District Court (Reno) (established 2000) Business court departments operate in Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno). Nevada is a popular state of incorporation alternative to Delaware for gaming, cannabis, and technology companies.

Nevada M&A Market Context

Nevada M&A reflects gaming and hospitality, technology, and real estate sectors in Las Vegas; Reno has grown as a technology and logistics corridor with significant acquisition activity.

Watchpoints

Common Skye Canyon Business Sale Transaction Law Pitfalls

These are the items we see derail business sale transaction law transactions in the Skye Canyon market. Each one is rooted in current statutory law, recent legislative changes, or recurring patterns from the deals Alex has handled.

1

Nevada non-compete enforcement and earn-out exposure

State legal framework

Enforceable with restrictions for low-wage workers. Blue-pencil available.

"Non-binding is just a phrase. It does not guarantee a frictionless process down the line. An LOI can absolutely structure the entire future of a deal even when the document explicitly says non-binding. If counsel comes in later in the game, the LOI is already there, and parties will anchor to it. Whether or not you were involved in the drafting. Whether or not you were involved in the negotiation. They will anchor to that document. And when deals blow up, fingers get pointed at the LOI's terms. The phrase non-binding sets a buyer's expectations. The substance of the document sets the deal. Those two things are different, and the gap between them is where deals get expensive."
Alex Lubyansky · Leo Landaverde M&A Podcast

Nevada regulatory framework attorneys flag at LOI

State statute

Securities regulated by Nevada Secretary of State Securities Division (nvsos.gov/securities). Nevada follows the Uniform Securities Act; Blue Sky notice filings required for Reg D. Nevada limits non-competes for lower-wage workers.

Common business sale transaction law mistake from the field

From Alex Lubyansky

When the other side returns a redlined definitive, you don't need to be an attorney to scan the document and see whether it's signal or noise. If the entire document is now red, you can see it visually. The quick scan is whether these are actually important points or whether this is grammatical nitpicking for the sake of grammatical nitpicking. The latter is a pretty big red flag pretty quickly. In a good transaction, the redlining focuses on risk allocation, earnouts, exclusivity. The structural points that matter to the client on either side. That's fair. That's fine. When you see the same point reraised three rounds later, you have to ask whether that's a memory problem or just another way to keep the meter running. Sometimes I wonder if the firms are working together to make sure it goes back and forth. I'm not part of that.
