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.

M&A Market: Alamo Heights & the San Antonio Metro

San Antonio's M&A market is significantly influenced by its massive military presence, with Joint Base San Antonio (the largest joint base in the DoD) driving deal activity in defense contracting, cybersecurity, and government IT services. The city is also a major healthcare market, home to the South Texas Medical Center and a growing biosciences sector. San Antonio's lower cost structure compared to Austin and Dallas makes it an increasingly attractive market for mid-market acquisitions in manufacturing, energy services, and hospitality.

Top M&A Sectors Near Alamo Heights

  • Defense & Cybersecurity Services
  • Healthcare & Medical Services
  • Energy & Oil Field Services
  • Hospitality & Tourism
  • Manufacturing & Aerospace Components

Deal Environment

San Antonio offers attractive valuations relative to Austin and Dallas, with deal multiples typically 0.5-1 turn lower for comparable businesses. The military community creates a unique pipeline of veteran-owned businesses approaching transition, and the city's steady population growth fuels demand for healthcare and consumer services acquisitions.

Why Acquire in the San Antonio Area

San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas and the seventh-largest in the U.S., with population growth that consistently outpaces the national average and a cost of doing business well below other major Texas metros. The city's $40B+ military economic impact provides a stable demand floor for defense and services businesses.

Texas Legal Considerations

Texas enforces non-compete agreements if they are ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement and meet reasonableness requirements, and the state's lack of a corporate or personal income tax makes post-acquisition cash flow modeling more favorable, though buyers should account for Texas's franchise (margin) tax on entities with revenue exceeding $2.47 million.

Texas Legal Considerations for IPO & Going Public Law

Non-Compete Laws

Enforceable only if ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. Mandatory reformation.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Texas Secretary of State. Franchise tax (margin tax) compliance is required. The Comptroller's office handles tax clearance certificates for asset purchases. Public Information Reports are required annually.

Key Texas Considerations

  • Texas has no corporate or personal income tax, making it one of the most favorable jurisdictions for structuring acquisitions, though the Franchise (Margin) Tax still applies as a gross-receipts-based tax
  • As a community property state, spousal consent is required for the sale of community property business interests, adding a required step in deal documentation
  • Texas's unique requirement that non-competes be "ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement" means buyers must carefully evaluate the enforceability of each non-compete in a target company's portfolio based on the underlying consideration
