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 MacDonald Highlands 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 MacDonald Highlands?
During your confidential initial consultation in MacDonald Highlands, we'll discuss your purchase agreement law needs, review your current situation, assess potential challenges specific to Nevada, 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.

M&A Market: MacDonald Highlands & the Las Vegas Metro

Las Vegas's M&A market extends well beyond the Strip, encompassing a diverse economy driven by hospitality and entertainment, construction, healthcare, and a rapidly growing technology sector. The region's massive convention and tourism infrastructure creates deal opportunities in food services, facility management, and experiential entertainment that are unique nationally. Southern Nevada's explosive population growth (among the fastest in the U.S.) has triggered consolidation waves in healthcare, home services, and commercial real estate.

Top M&A Sectors Near MacDonald Highlands

  • Hospitality & Entertainment Services
  • Construction & Home Services
  • Healthcare & Specialty Medical Practices
  • Technology & iGaming
  • Food & Beverage Operations

Deal Environment

Las Vegas deal flow is highly seasonal, with hospitality-related transactions often timed around convention and tourism cycles. Buyers should expect higher revenue volatility in hospitality-adjacent businesses but can find attractively priced assets during softer tourism periods. The market has deepened considerably as diversification beyond gaming continues.

Why Acquire in the Las Vegas Area

Nevada's zero state income tax, both personal and corporate, creates an immediate bottom-line advantage for acquired businesses compared to competitors in California or other high-tax states. The metro's 30% population growth over the past decade provides organic revenue growth for consumer-facing businesses, and its proximity to Southern California opens a massive addressable market.

Nevada Legal Considerations

Nevada has enacted one of the nation's most protective LLC statutes, including charging order protection for single-member LLCs, and the state does not enforce non-compete agreements for hourly workers, which is critical to workforce planning in hospitality-related acquisitions.

Nevada Legal Considerations for Purchase Agreement Law

Non-Compete Laws

Enforceable with restrictions for low-wage workers. Blue-pencil available.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. Bulk sales compliance requires 45-day advance creditor notice. Annual lists (reports) are required with relatively high filing fees. Business licenses are required from the Nevada Secretary of State.

Key Nevada Considerations

  • Nevada has no corporate or personal income tax, making it a preferred jurisdiction for structuring holding companies and acquisition entities
  • As a community property state, spousal consent is required for transfers of community property business interests
  • Nevada Gaming Commission and Gaming Control Board approval is required for any change of control of gaming-licensed entities, with extensive background investigations of new owners

Nevada Bar Authority

State Bar of Nevada (mandatory unified bar). Unified/integrated bar. Membership required to practice law in Nevada.

Nevada Federal and Business Courts

Federal districts: D. Nev.

Business court: Nevada Eighth Judicial District Court Business Court (Las Vegas) and Second Judicial District Court (Reno) (established 2000) Business court departments operate in Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno). Nevada is a popular state of incorporation alternative to Delaware for gaming, cannabis, and technology companies.

Nevada M&A Market Context

Nevada M&A reflects gaming and hospitality, technology, and real estate sectors in Las Vegas; Reno has grown as a technology and logistics corridor with significant acquisition activity.

Common purchase agreement law mistake from the field

From Alex Lubyansky

Your lawyer might help you close the deal. But if they're not there to help you realize its value afterward, you're leaving money on the table.

Attorney perspective on purchase agreement attorney matters in MacDonald Highlands

Alex Lubyansky, Managing Partner at Acquisition Stars
"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."
