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.
We don't take every matter. Here is what happens when you reach out.
Alex reviews your transaction details personally. No intake coordinators, no junior associates screening your submission.
We evaluate whether your deal aligns with our practice. Not every matter is a fit, and we will tell you directly if it is not.
If there is alignment, Alex schedules a direct call to discuss your transaction, timeline, and objectives.
Before any work begins, you receive a written engagement letter with defined scope, timeline, and fee structure. No surprises.

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.

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.
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.
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 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.

Top Industry Concentration
Atlanta is the Southeast's dominant business hub and an increasingly important national M&A market. The metro has built particular depth in fintech and payments technology, logistics and supply chain, and media. Atlanta's role as a film and television production center adds an entertainment M&A layer. The city's position as the Southeast gateway for corporate headquarters drives consistent mid-market deal flow across professional services and technology sectors.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world's busiest airport by passenger volume. Atlanta is a major Southeast distribution hub at the intersection of I-75, I-85, and I-20.
Recent Peachtree City Deal Signal (2024-2025)
Atlanta's fintech and payments sector saw continued consolidation through 2024, building on the metro's established reputation as a global payments processing hub. Global Payments and NCR Voyix restructuring activity generated downstream deal flow.
