Dental Practice Attorney in Omaha

Enforceable but no reformation. Overbroad covenants are void entirely.

"The LOI is an excellent entry point. From a legal perspective, it's one of the largest moments where an attorney can add real value. If something gets codified in an LOI, it's often far more dangerous and binding than the buyer believes. People look at the title of an LOI on Google and assume non-binding means harmless. The first thing you learn in legal training is that the title of a document is not indicative of its substance. An LOI is not just an expression of interest. It is binding in many ways. Even if you set aside the legal repercussions of the document's nuances, look at how these get put together without outside help. The buyer attaches themselves to a price, a structure, a tactical concession that they can no longer change later in the process. Pre-LOI engagement is when an attorney earns their fee."

The longer a deal drags, the worse it gets. Deal fatigue is real. Even when both parties agreed to something early on, if dates slip and deadlines slip, human nature takes over. At some point one side goes back to the internal drawing board and decides they don't want to be part of it anymore. I usually find this to be symptomatic of a poor process on the front end. Not malice. Not negative intent. Not someone running up fees. Just poor alignment, poor qualification, poor structuring at the start of the engagement. Once that's the foundation, every missed date compounds. The fix isn't more negotiation in the middle. The fix is doing better qualification before the deal team is even hired.
