Alex Lubyansky, Managing Partner at Acquisition Stars
"The hardest part of any franchise acquisition law engagement is not the documents. It is reading the relationship across the table early enough to structure around it. By the time the purchase agreement is on the table, half the meaningful negotiating leverage is already gone."

Franchise Acquisition Lawyer: Frequently Asked Questions

What does Acquisition Stars handle for franchise acquisition law matters?

Acquisition Stars represents buyers and sellers across the full deal lifecycle: preliminary structuring, letter of intent, due diligence, definitive agreement negotiation, and closing mechanics. The firm handles franchise disclosure document (fdd) review and analysis, franchise agreement negotiation with franchisors, franchisor consent and transfer approval coordination, among other transaction work. Alex Lubyansky personally handles every engagement.

Who does Acquisition Stars typically represent in franchise acquisition law engagements?

The firm represents first-time franchise buyers evaluating a franchise investment, buyers purchasing an existing franchise location from a current owner, multi-unit franchise operators expanding their portfolio, along with other parties involved in mid-market and lower-middle-market transactions. Engagements range from single-buyer acquisitions to multi-party recapitalizations.

Does the firm represent clients outside Michigan?

Yes. While the firm office is in Novi, Michigan, Alex Lubyansky represents clients nationwide on M&A and securities transactions. Most engagements involve out-of-state buyers, sellers, or target companies. The firm regularly admits pro hac vice in other states when matters require it.

Will I work directly with Alex Lubyansky or with junior attorneys?

Every engagement at Acquisition Stars is handled directly by Alex Lubyansky. There are no handoffs to junior associates and no separate teams brought in for parts of the deal. The same attorney negotiates the LOI, manages diligence, drafts the definitive agreements, and runs closing.

How does the firm price franchise acquisition law engagements?

Pricing varies with deal size, complexity, and timeline. Acquisition Stars does not publish a fee schedule because transaction work cannot be reduced to a flat-fee menu. After a brief initial conversation about the deal specifics, the firm provides a written engagement scope and an estimate or fee range so clients can budget the matter.
