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?"

Hourly, flat fee, or hybrid. Ask what factors increase legal costs so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Alpharetta clients

What is the difference between an APA and an SPA?

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 can I expect during an initial consultation in Alpharetta?

During your confidential initial consultation in Alpharetta, we'll discuss your purchase agreement law needs, review your current situation, assess potential challenges specific to Georgia, and outline a clear path forward. We'll explain our process, answer your questions, and determine if we're the right fit for your needs.

Yes, we represent clients nationwide while maintaining a strong presence in Alpharetta. Our managing partner handles purchase agreement law matters across all 50 states, coordinating with local counsel where state-specific requirements apply.

M&A Market: Alpharetta & the Atlanta Metro

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.

Top M&A Sectors Near Alpharetta

Financial Technology
Healthcare
Franchise Operations
Film & Entertainment

Deal Environment

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.

Why Acquire in the Atlanta Area

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 Legal Considerations

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.

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.

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.
