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.

Birmingham's M&A market is shaped by its position as Alabama's financial and healthcare capital, with major banking operations (Regions Financial, Protective Life) and the UAB Health System driving deal activity across financial services and healthcare sectors. The region retains significant industrial capacity in steel, metals, and automotive components, with the Southeast's manufacturing renaissance creating acquisition opportunities in suppliers to Mercedes-Benz, Honda, and Hyundai plants across Alabama. Birmingham's low cost of operations makes acquired businesses highly cash-flow generative.
Birmingham offers a buyer-friendly environment with deal multiples meaningfully below national averages, particularly for industrial and services businesses. The market is relationship-driven, with family-owned businesses often preferring local buyers or those with Southeast operating experience over coastal PE firms.
Alabama's automotive manufacturing boom has created a tier-1 and tier-2 supplier ecosystem in the Birmingham corridor that offers acquisition opportunities with long-term OEM contract visibility. The state's low cost of labor, Right-to-Work status, and aggressive incentive programs for manufacturers make Birmingham acquisitions financially compelling relative to comparable businesses elsewhere.
Alabama enforces non-compete agreements and applies a protectable interest test, and the state's Bulk Transfer Act has been repealed, simplifying asset sales; however, Alabama's unique mortgage tax (assessed on certain secured lending transactions) can add unexpected costs to acquisition financing and should be factored into deal economics.

Watchpoints
These are the items we see derail purchase agreement law transactions in the Alabaster market. Each one is rooted in current statutory law, recent legislative changes, or recurring patterns from the deals Alex has handled.

"The most expensive deals aren't the ones with high price tags. They're the ones where buyers skipped the 90-minute assessment because they fell in love with the highlight reel."

When the other side returns a redlined definitive, you don't need to be an attorney to scan the document and see whether it's signal or noise. If the entire document is now red, you can see it visually. The quick scan is whether these are actually important points or whether this is grammatical nitpicking for the sake of grammatical nitpicking. The latter is a pretty big red flag pretty quickly. In a good transaction, the redlining focuses on risk allocation, earnouts, exclusivity. The structural points that matter to the client on either side. That's fair. That's fine. When you see the same point reraised three rounds later, you have to ask whether that's a memory problem or just another way to keep the meter running. Sometimes I wonder if the firms are working together to make sure it goes back and forth. I'm not part of that.
