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.

Columbus is Ohio's fastest-growing metro and a hidden gem for M&A activity, driven by a diversified economy spanning insurance (Nationwide), retail (L Brands, Abercrombie), healthcare (Ohio State Wexner Medical Center), and a booming technology sector. The city's emergence as a Midwest tech hub, bolstered by Ohio State University's research output and the Smart Columbus initiative, is creating new acquisition targets in logistics tech, insurtech, and health IT.
Columbus offers strong deal flow at Midwest valuations with less buyer competition than Chicago or the coasts. The city's central location and diverse economy make acquired businesses natural platforms for regional expansion.
Columbus has grown by over 15% in a decade, making it Ohio's growth engine. The metro's young, educated workforce (Ohio State is the largest university in the US by enrollment) and affordable cost of living create strong fundamentals for acquired businesses.
Ohio repealed its Bulk Sales Act but imposes a Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) on gross receipts exceeding $150,000 - acquirers must evaluate CAT liability and potential successor responsibility as part of transaction due diligence.

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Ohio Secretary of State. The Department of Taxation requires tax clearance for asset purchases. Biennial (odd-year) reports are required for domestic corporations.
Ohio State Bar Association. Voluntary bar. The Ohio Supreme Court handles attorney admission separately.

Business court: Ohio Court of Common Pleas Commercial Docket (established 2012) Commercial dockets operate in Hamilton County (Cincinnati), Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), and Lucas County (Toledo). Ohio periodically adjusts the commercial docket program structure.
Ohio is a major Midwest M&A market with Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati generating substantial deal flow across healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and technology.

Non-binding is just a phrase. It does not guarantee a frictionless process down the line. An LOI can absolutely structure the entire future of a deal even when the document explicitly says non-binding. If counsel comes in later in the game, the LOI is already there, and parties will anchor to it. Whether or not you were involved in the drafting. Whether or not you were involved in the negotiation. They will anchor to that document. And when deals blow up, fingers get pointed at the LOI's terms. The phrase non-binding sets a buyer's expectations. The substance of the document sets the deal. Those two things are different, and the gap between them is where deals get expensive.

"M&A is an intellectually captivating space to operate in. Litigation has a clear winner and a clear loser. Tempers flare. It's a hostile practice. M&A done well, qualified correctly, scoped accurately, aligned early, is the most intellectually rewarding part of legal practice I've ever found. When a client brings me a problem, my first thought is how to satisfy their desire with as little legal spend as possible. If that's possible, the engagement expands into definitive drafting and final negotiation on the points that aren't diametrically opposed. The work is collaborative when it's set up right. Going back and forth on a red line knowing the firm on the other side just wants to up their fees... I won't do that deal. It makes me look bad as if I'm going to war. I'm not going to war. I'm trying to formulate an arrangement where both sides can live with the outcome."
