A structured, methodical approach to purchase agreement law
We review your letter of intent or proposed deal terms, identify gaps and risks, and develop a drafting strategy that protects your position from the first page.
Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky drafts or marks up the purchase agreement, structuring representations, warranties, indemnification, and closing mechanics to match your specific deal.
We negotiate directly with opposing counsel on every material term, from purchase price adjustments and escrow amounts to survival periods and indemnification caps.
We prepare all supporting documents including disclosure schedules, non-compete agreements, transition services agreements, and any required third-party consents.
We manage the closing checklist, coordinate signature pages and fund flows, and ensure every condition is satisfied so your deal closes cleanly and on schedule.
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.

Oklahoma City's M&A market is anchored by the energy sector, with a concentration of oil and gas exploration, production, and midstream companies that generate deal activity across the value chain from wellhead services to pipeline operations. The city has diversified meaningfully into aerospace and defense, with Tinker Air Force Base and the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center creating an aviation services cluster. OKC's cost of living (among the lowest of any U.S. metro above 1M population) supports strong margins for acquired businesses across sectors.
Oklahoma City offers a value-oriented M&A market with deal multiples well below national averages, particularly for energy services businesses during commodity downturns. The market is relationship-driven, with local intermediaries and the Oklahoma chapter of ACG playing important roles in deal origination.
Oklahoma's low cost structure, business-friendly regulatory environment, and absence of significant state-level compliance burdens make OKC-acquired businesses highly cash-flow efficient. The metro's energy sector expertise provides a talent pool for acquirers looking to build platforms in upstream and midstream services.
Oklahoma is notable for its near-complete prohibition of non-compete agreements (with narrow exceptions for the sale of a business and partnership dissolution), which means acquirers cannot rely on post-closing non-competes for key employees outside the seller themselves, making retention strategies and trade secret protections essential.
