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.

Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing M&A markets in the nation, driven by corporate relocations (Toyota, Charles Schwab, Caterpillar) and a booming technology sector. The region's diversified economy spans financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, and real estate. DFW's lower cost of living compared to coastal cities has attracted significant PE capital looking for value-priced acquisitions.
Dallas deal flow has accelerated as Fortune 500 relocations bring their vendor ecosystems and create new acquisition opportunities. Competition for quality targets is increasing as more PE firms establish DFW offices.
The DFW metroplex adds over 100,000 residents annually, creating organic growth for local businesses. Texas's no-income-tax environment and pro-business regulatory climate make it one of the most acquirer-friendly markets in the country.
Texas enforces non-compete agreements if ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement and reasonable in scope - but the Texas Business Organizations Code requires careful attention to entity conversion and merger filing procedures with the Secretary of State.

DFW is one of the fastest-growing US metros and has become a major corporate relocation destination for financial services, technology, and corporate headquarters. The metro's M&A market reflects the inflow of Fortune 500 headquarters and a robust middle market driven by technology services, financial services, and energy. Texas's favorable tax environment and business climate attract buyers and sellers across the country to transact here.
DFW International Airport is among the top 5 busiest in the world by operations. Dallas is a major US freight and distribution hub, positioned at the nexus of I-35 and I-20 corridors.
Recent University Park Deal Signal (2024-2025)
Corporate headquarters relocations to DFW from California and the Northeast continued in 2024, generating integration-related M&A activity as transplanted firms restructured regional operations and pursued Texas-based acquisitions.
