The letter of intent sets the terms that define your entire deal. Our Bulverde LOI attorneys draft, review, and negotiate letters of intent for business acquisitions across Real Estate, Healthcare, Professional Services, ensuring you lock in favorable terms and avoid costly surprises before you commit to due diligence.
Alex Lubyansky handles letter of intent law work for buyers and sellers in Bulverde and across the country. Here is what that looks like:
We work best with people who know what they want and are ready to move:
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.
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.
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 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.
A structured, methodical approach to letter of intent law
We review the proposed terms or your acquisition goals, identify leverage points, and develop a negotiation strategy that positions you for a successful deal.
We draft a new LOI or mark up the existing one, structuring binding and non-binding provisions to protect your interests while keeping the deal moving forward.
We negotiate key terms including purchase price structure, exclusivity periods, due diligence timelines, and closing conditions directly with the other side's counsel.
Once terms are agreed, we finalize the LOI and ensure both parties understand which provisions are binding, which are aspirational, and what happens next.
We carry the negotiated LOI terms into the due diligence phase and definitive purchase agreement, maintaining consistency and momentum through closing.
"The LOI is where leverage is won or lost. Once you sign a poorly structured letter of intent, you've already conceded negotiating positions you didn't even know you had. The purchase agreement just documents what the LOI already gave away."

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.
