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.

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.

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.
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.
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 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.

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.
