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.

Portland's M&A market is driven by its strengths in athletic and outdoor brands (Nike, Columbia, Adidas NA), clean technology, and craft manufacturing. The city's reputation as a hub for sustainable business creates acquisition opportunities in green building, organic food production, and renewable energy services. Portland's semiconductor cluster (Intel's largest campus) generates tech M&A activity throughout the supply chain.
Portland's market is smaller but high quality, with business owners who tend to be values-driven and selective about acquirers. Cultural fit matters more here than in most markets - buyers who understand the Pacific Northwest ethos have a significant advantage.
Portland's lower cost of living compared to Seattle and San Francisco, combined with access to the same Pacific Northwest talent pool, makes it an attractive market for acquirers seeking value in technology and consumer businesses.
Oregon voids non-compete agreements unless they meet strict requirements: the employer must provide written notice at least two weeks before employment, the employee must earn above the median household income, and duration is capped at 12 months.

Top Industry Concentration
Portland's M&A market is shaped by semiconductor manufacturing (Intel's Hillsboro fab complex is one of the largest in the US), apparel and outdoor retail, and technology services. The metro straddles the Oregon-Washington state line, creating multi-state structuring considerations. Oregon's progressive regulatory environment and unique tax structure (no sales tax, substantial corporate income tax) affect deal economics. The metro's technology sector has grown as a secondary Pacific Northwest hub to Seattle.
Portland International Airport serves the metro. Port of Portland handles grain, auto imports, and container cargo and is a significant Columbia River-Snake River navigation system terminus. The port provides Pacific Rim trade access.
Recent Happy Valley Deal Signal (2024-2025)
Intel's restructuring and cost-reduction program in 2024-2025 created uncertainty around its Hillsboro operations, with potential for supplier rationalization and asset divestitures in the Portland metro semiconductor supply chain. Nike's brand portfolio review also generated potential subsidiary and licensing transaction signals.
