Our Process

A structured, methodical approach to acquisition due diligence law

1

Diligence Planning

We create a customized due diligence checklist and request list based on the target company's industry, size, and deal structure, then coordinate document collection with the seller.

2

Document Review & Analysis

Our team reviews every material contract, corporate record, litigation file, and regulatory filing in the data room, flagging risks that could affect valuation or deal terms.

3

Risk Identification

We identify and categorize risks by severity, including potential liabilities, contract issues, compliance gaps, and operational exposures that require attention before closing.

4

Findings Report & Recommendations

Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky delivers a clear, actionable findings report with risk-ranked issues and specific recommendations for how to address each one in the purchase agreement.

5

Deal Term Negotiation Support

We translate diligence findings into negotiation leverage, drafting specific representations, warranties, indemnities, and closing conditions that protect you from identified risks.

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 Peachtree City clients

What does a due diligence attorney do in an acquisition?
A due diligence attorney investigates the legal health of a target company before you close the deal. This includes reviewing contracts, litigation history, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, employee matters, and corporate governance. At Acquisition Stars, we go beyond checklists to give you a clear, strategic picture of what you are actually buying.
How long does legal due diligence take?
Legal due diligence typically takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the target company. Acquisition Stars is structured for speed, and Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky personally oversees every diligence engagement to ensure we meet your deal timeline without sacrificing thoroughness.
What risks does due diligence uncover?
Common findings include undisclosed liabilities, contracts that do not survive a change of control, pending or threatened litigation, regulatory non-compliance, intellectual property ownership gaps, employee classification issues, and environmental exposures. Any of these can significantly affect valuation or kill a deal entirely.
What happens if due diligence uncovers problems?
Diligence findings give you negotiation leverage. Depending on the severity, you can negotiate a purchase price reduction, require the seller to fix the issue before closing, add specific indemnification protections to the purchase agreement, or walk away from the deal if the risks are too significant.
Why not just use my general business attorney for due diligence?
Acquisition due diligence requires specialized M&A experience. A general business attorney may not know which risks matter most in the context of a transaction or how to translate findings into protective deal terms. Acquisition Stars has 15+ years of exclusive M&A experience, which means we know exactly where to look and what to do with what we find.
What are the Georgia tax considerations for transaction due diligence?
Georgia imposes a flat 5.39% corporate income tax (reduced from 5.75% under recent legislation). The state uses single-factor sales apportionment with market-based sourcing. Georgia conforms to most federal tax provisions, including Section 338(h)(10) elections. Film tax credits are transferable and can be relevant when acquiring entertainment industry businesses.
What can I expect during an initial consultation in Peachtree City?
During your confidential initial consultation in Peachtree City, we'll discuss your acquisition due diligence law needs, review your current situation, assess potential challenges specific to Georgia, 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.

M&A Market: Peachtree City & the Atlanta Metro

Atlanta is the business capital of the Southeast, with M&A activity driven by logistics (home of UPS and Delta), financial technology (NCR, Fiserv), and healthcare. The city's position as a transportation hub creates unique opportunities in distribution, supply chain, and franchise businesses. Atlanta's robust Black business community adds diversity to the deal pipeline not seen in most markets.

Top M&A Sectors Near Peachtree City

  • Logistics & Supply Chain
  • Financial Technology
  • Healthcare
  • Franchise Operations
  • Film & Entertainment

Deal Environment

Atlanta offers strong deal flow at valuations below the Northeast corridor. The region's rapid population growth and business formation rate create a steady supply of acquisition targets across all sectors.

Why Acquire in the Atlanta Area

Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport (the world's busiest) makes it the most accessible city in the US - a strategic advantage for acquirers building multi-location platforms that require frequent travel between portfolio companies.

Georgia Legal Considerations

Georgia enforces non-compete agreements under its 2011 Restrictive Covenants Act, which provides clearer standards than the prior common law framework - courts can now 'blue pencil' overly broad restrictions rather than voiding them entirely.

Georgia Legal Considerations for Acquisition Due Diligence Law

Non-Compete Laws

Enforceable under 2011 statutory framework. Blue-pencil available.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions are filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division. Annual registrations are required. Professional license transfers require separate filings with the relevant Georgia licensing board.

Key Georgia Considerations

  • Georgia's 2011 constitutional amendment and Restrictive Covenants Act dramatically changed non-compete enforceability, making pre-2011 Georgia case law unreliable for assessing existing covenants in target companies
  • Georgia's transferable film and entertainment tax credits can represent significant value in acquisitions of qualifying businesses
  • The state's port system (Port of Savannah) creates opportunities and regulatory considerations for acquisitions of logistics and import/export businesses

Attorney perspective on due diligence attorney matters

Alex Lubyansky, Managing Partner at Acquisition Stars
"A disorganized data room tells the buyer everything. If the seller can't produce tax returns, customer contracts, and employment agreements within five business days, you're not buying a business. You're buying a reconstruction project."
