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.

Georgia Legal Considerations for Reverse Merger Law

Non-Compete Laws

Enforceable under 2011 statutory framework. Blue-pencil available.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions are filed with the Georgia Secretary of State, Corporations Division. Annual registrations are required. Professional license transfers require separate filings with the relevant Georgia licensing board.

Key Georgia Considerations

  • Georgia's 2011 constitutional amendment and Restrictive Covenants Act dramatically changed non-compete enforceability, making pre-2011 Georgia case law unreliable for assessing existing covenants in target companies
  • Georgia's transferable film and entertainment tax credits can represent significant value in acquisitions of qualifying businesses
  • The state's port system (Port of Savannah) creates opportunities and regulatory considerations for acquisitions of logistics and import/export businesses

Georgia Bar Authority

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

Common reverse merger law mistake from the field

From Alex Lubyansky

Seller financing is a huge buzzword. Run analytics on where your inbound comes from and you'll see it. Speak publicly about seller financing and you will attract a massive amount of interest. The trouble is, the same buzzword attracts unqualified buyers. People without intent. People without funding. People without the ability or desire to actually move forward. I love the idea, and I love the possibility of a creative structure. But it's far less likely than the internet would have you believe. The unicorn opportunity that's completely seller financed, runs hands off, and flips at a massive multiple in months... that math doesn't really make sense. You see it constantly online because it works as a way to attract a large amount of interest. Just not necessarily qualified interest.
