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.

Seattle's M&A market is heavily influenced by the presence of Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing, which create a massive ecosystem of technology vendors, cloud services companies, and aerospace suppliers ripe for acquisition. The region's strength in cloud computing, AI, and SaaS has made it the second-largest tech M&A market after the Bay Area. Biotech activity is growing rapidly, anchored by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and Allen Institute.
Seattle deal valuations for tech companies approach Bay Area levels but with slightly less competition. The concentration of technical talent means acquired companies can scale engineering teams faster than in most markets.
Washington state has no personal income tax, making it attractive for founders considering exits and for acquirers looking to relocate talent. The region's tech ecosystem ensures a steady pipeline of growth-stage companies seeking acquisition.
Washington's non-compete statute (RCW 49.62) voids non-competes for employees earning under approximately $120,000 annually (adjusted for inflation) and limits duration to 18 months, which affects workforce retention strategies post-acquisition.

Top Industry Concentration
Seattle's M&A landscape is dominated by technology, driven by Amazon and Microsoft's presence and a dense ecosystem of software, cloud, and e-commerce companies. The metro also carries significant aerospace weight from Boeing's commercial aviation operations. Technology platform acquisitions and enterprise software consolidation are the primary deal drivers. The metro's strong venture capital ecosystem produces a steady pipeline of acquisition targets for large strategic buyers.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a major Pacific Rim gateway. Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma (combined as the Northwest Seaport Alliance) handle major Asia-Pacific container trade. Seattle is a key US-Asia trade entry point.
Recent Medina Deal Signal (2024-2025)
Microsoft's continued acquisition of AI and cloud technology companies, including the completion of its Activision Blizzard acquisition in late 2023 and subsequent integration, set the tone for Seattle-metro technology M&A through 2024. Amazon also pursued logistics and healthcare technology acquisitions.
