[Request Engagement Assessment](https://acquisitionstars.com/consultation) ## Direct Answer A purchase agreement attorney drafts and negotiates the asset purchase agreement (APA) or stock purchase agreement (SPA) that governs a business acquisition, including representations and warranties, indemnification and escrow terms, closing conditions, and ancillary documents like non-competes and transition agreements. The work also covers SBA-compliant documentation when a buyer is using SBA 7(a) financing. Acquisition Stars drafts and reviews purchase agreements for buyers and sellers nationwide. ## Why a Purchase Agreement Attorney Matters A purchase agreement is where every negotiated business point, price, structure, risk allocation, becomes enforceable language, and small drafting choices inside that document, how a representation is qualified, what triggers an indemnification claim, how a working capital adjustment is calculated, can matter as much as the headline deal terms. A purchase agreement attorney reviewing or drafting the document is not just formalizing what was already agreed. They are often the only person checking whether the language actually says what the parties think it says. ## What We Do - Asset purchase agreement (APA) drafting and negotiation - Stock purchase agreement (SPA) drafting and negotiation - Representations and warranties tailored to your deal - Indemnification, escrow, and holdback structuring - Closing conditions and deliverables coordination - SBA-compliant purchase agreement documentation - Seller financing and earnout provisions - Ancillary documents including non-competes, transition agreements, and employment agreements ## Who We Serve - Buyers who need an asset purchase agreement drafted from scratch - Sellers reviewing a buyer's proposed purchase agreement - SBA-financed buyers who need lender-compliant transaction documents - Business brokers whose clients need legal review of purchase terms - Private equity firms requiring institutional-quality deal documentation - Entrepreneurs closing their first acquisition and needing experienced counsel ![Alex Lubyansky, Managing Partner at Acquisition Stars](https://acquisitionstars.com/images/alex-lubyansky-headshot-96w.jpg) > "The hardest part of any purchase agreement 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."

[Read full bio](https://acquisitionstars.com/about) ## 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?" Ask how the engagement is scoped, what is included, and what factors drive cost increases. Defined scope with a retainer gives the clearest cost picture. ## Purchase Agreement Attorney Locations We Serve ### Service Areas by State Browse Purchase Agreement Attorney service areas by state.

An asset purchase agreement (APA) lets you select specific assets and liabilities to acquire, giving you more control over what transfers. A stock purchase agreement (SPA) transfers ownership of the entire entity, including all assets and liabilities. The right choice depends on tax considerations, liability exposure, and the specific deal structure your transaction requires. ### Why do I need an attorney for my purchase agreement? The purchase agreement is the single most important document in your deal. It allocates risk between buyer and seller through representations, warranties, indemnification, and closing conditions. A poorly drafted agreement can leave you exposed to liabilities, overpayment, or post-closing disputes that could have been prevented. ### How long does it take to draft a purchase agreement? A first draft typically takes 5 to 10 business days depending on deal complexity. Negotiation and revisions can add 2 to 4 weeks. Acquisition Stars is built for speed, and Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky keeps the drafting process moving so your deal stays on track. ### What should a purchase agreement include? A well-drafted purchase agreement addresses purchase price and payment terms, asset or stock transfer mechanics, representations and warranties from both parties, indemnification obligations and caps, closing conditions and deliverables, post-closing adjustments, and non-compete and transition terms. Every provision should be tailored to your specific transaction. ### Can you review a purchase agreement the other side drafted? Yes. Reviewing and marking up the other side's draft is one of the most common engagements we handle. We identify terms that are unfavorable, missing protections, and hidden risks, then negotiate revisions that bring the agreement in line with your interests and standard market terms. ### What does Acquisition Stars handle for purchase agreement 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 asset purchase agreement (apa) drafting and negotiation, stock purchase agreement (spa) drafting and negotiation, representations and warranties tailored to your deal, among other transaction work. Alex Lubyansky leads every engagement. ### Who does Acquisition Stars typically represent in purchase agreement law engagements? The firm represents buyers who need an asset purchase agreement drafted from scratch, sellers reviewing a buyer's proposed purchase agreement, sba-financed buyers who need lender-compliant transaction documents, 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 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. ### Who will work on my deal? Alex Lubyansky leads every engagement at Acquisition Stars. He sets the deal strategy, leads the negotiation, and runs closing, and every document is reviewed by him before it goes to the other side. An associate supports the work, including first drafts and diligence review. You will know who is doing what at each stage of the transaction. ### How does the firm price purchase agreement law engagements? Pricing varies with deal size, complexity, and timeline, so Acquisition Stars does not publish a fee schedule. After a brief initial conversation about the deal specifics, the firm provides a written engagement scope, typically as a bundled engagement or with a not-to-exceed budget, so clients can plan the matter with confidence. ## Ready to Discuss Your Purchase Agreement Law Engagement?
