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 Peoria 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 Peoria?

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

Do you work with companies outside of Peoria?

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

M&A Market: Peoria & the Phoenix Metro

Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing M&A markets in the country, driven by massive population influx from California and the establishment of major semiconductor fabrication facilities (TSMC, Intel). The region's real estate, healthcare, and technology sectors generate consistent deal flow. The Valley's concentration of retirement communities creates unique acquisition opportunities in senior care, home health, and wealth management.

Deal Environment

Phoenix deal activity is accelerating as the metro area approaches 5 million residents. California transplants often bring business expertise and capital, increasing both the quality of targets and the sophistication of local buyers.

Why Acquire in the Phoenix Area

Arizona's business-friendly regulatory environment, growing workforce, and significantly lower costs than California make Phoenix an increasingly attractive market for acquirers looking to build platforms in the Sun Belt.

Arizona Legal Considerations

Arizona allows courts to 'blue pencil' overly broad non-compete agreements to make them enforceable, and the state's regulatory sandbox program for fintech creates unique considerations for acquisitions of financial services companies.

Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing US metros and has attracted significant corporate relocation and semiconductor manufacturing investment. The metro's M&A activity reflects growth in semiconductor supply chain, financial services back-office operations, and real estate-adjacent businesses. TSMC's $65 billion fab investment commitment in the Chandler area positions the metro as a growing semiconductor manufacturing hub, attracting supplier and services acquisitions.

Transit and Logistics

Recent Peoria Deal Signal (2024-2025)

TSMC's expanded Arizona fab investment and Intel's domestic chip manufacturing push generated semiconductor equipment and supply chain M&A activity in the Phoenix metro in 2024. Healthcare system consolidation through Banner Health acquisitions was also notable.

Filing Requirements

Key Arizona Considerations

The Arizona Corporation Commission has regulatory authority over water and utility companies, requiring prior approval for ownership changes
Arizona's Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) differs from traditional sales tax, as it is imposed on the seller rather than the buyer, which can affect asset purchase price negotiations
