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.

Hartford is the insurance capital of the world, home to Aetna (now CVS Health), The Hartford, Travelers, and dozens of specialty insurers, reinsurers, and insuretech startups that create a deep M&A ecosystem in insurance services, actuarial consulting, and insurance technology. The broader Connecticut corridor drives deal activity in aerospace (Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky suppliers), precision manufacturing, and financial services. The region's highly educated workforce and proximity to New York and Boston make it a strategic acquisition market for buyers seeking East Coast operations at a discount.
Hartford's deal flow is heavily influenced by the insurance industry consolidation cycle, with agencies, MGAs, and specialty carriers regularly changing hands at strong multiples. Aerospace and defense suppliers offer more value-oriented opportunities, particularly among family-owned machine shops and component manufacturers facing succession needs.
Hartford provides access to the world's deepest insurance talent pool, with actuaries, underwriters, and claims professionals concentrated at a density unmatched anywhere else globally. The metro's aerospace supply chain, anchored by Pratt & Whitney's East Hartford operations, offers bolt-on acquisition opportunities in precision manufacturing with defense contract visibility.
Connecticut's Bulk Transfer Act remains in effect and requires compliance with UCC Article 6 notice provisions in asset sales, and the state recently enacted restrictions on non-compete agreements for certain employee categories, including requiring additional consideration and limiting duration to one year for employees earning below specified thresholds.
Enforceable with five-factor reasonableness test. Blue-pencil available.
Mergers and entity conversions must be filed with the Connecticut Secretary of the State. The Department of Revenue Services requires notification of bulk asset transfers. Businesses holding state professional licenses must notify the relevant licensing authority.
Connecticut Bar Association. Voluntary bar. The Connecticut Judicial Branch regulates admission separately.
Bar association websiteFederal districts: D. Conn.
Business court: Connecticut Superior Court Complex Litigation Docket (established 1999) Complex litigation docket handles business and commercial disputes; not a freestanding court but a specialized docket within the superior court system.
Connecticut's M&A market reflects its financial services heritage, with Fairfield County serving as a private equity and hedge fund hub proximate to New York City.

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.

"M&A is an intellectually captivating space to operate in. Litigation has a clear winner and a clear loser. Tempers flare. It's a hostile practice. M&A done well, qualified correctly, scoped accurately, aligned early, is the most intellectually rewarding part of legal practice I've ever found. When a client brings me a problem, my first thought is how to satisfy their desire with as little legal spend as possible. If that's possible, the engagement expands into definitive drafting and final negotiation on the points that aren't diametrically opposed. The work is collaborative when it's set up right. Going back and forth on a red line knowing the firm on the other side just wants to up their fees... I won't do that deal. It makes me look bad as if I'm going to war. I'm not going to war. I'm trying to formulate an arrangement where both sides can live with the outcome."
