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.

Ann Arbor's M&A market is uniquely driven by the University of Michigan's massive research enterprise ($1.6B+ in annual research spending), which generates a continuous pipeline of biotech, healthcare IT, and deep-tech spinoffs reaching acquisition maturity. The city has become Michigan's premier tech startup hub, with companies in autonomous vehicles (from the Mcity testing ground), AI/ML, medical devices, and SaaS emerging from the university's commercialization ecosystem. Ann Arbor's proximity to Detroit's automotive industry adds a layer of mobility-tech and connected vehicle deal activity.
Ann Arbor's deal market is characterized by high-quality, IP-rich businesses that attract national strategic and financial buyers. Competition for proven biotech and health IT companies is intense, though earlier-stage spinoffs and services businesses offer more moderately priced entry points. The university's tech transfer office and local accelerators like Ann Arbor SPARK provide early visibility into emerging deal opportunities.
Ann Arbor offers access to University of Michigan's elite engineering, medical, and business talent at a fraction of Silicon Valley's cost, and the city consistently ranks among America's most educated metros. Acquiring here positions buyers in a self-reinforcing innovation ecosystem where university research, hospital system demand, and startup talent create compounding value.
Michigan's non-compete statute requires agreements to be 'reasonable' in duration, geographic scope, and type of activity restricted, and acquirers of university spinoffs should note that the University of Michigan retains certain IP rights through its technology transfer agreements, making thorough intellectual property due diligence essential for any acquisition with university-licensed technology.

The LOI is an excellent entry point. From a legal perspective, it's one of the largest moments where an attorney can add real value. If something gets codified in an LOI, it's often far more dangerous and binding than the buyer believes. People look at the title of an LOI on Google and assume non-binding means harmless. The first thing you learn in legal training is that the title of a document is not indicative of its substance. An LOI is not just an expression of interest. It is binding in many ways. Even if you set aside the legal repercussions of the document's nuances, look at how these get put together without outside help. The buyer attaches themselves to a price, a structure, a tactical concession that they can no longer change later in the process. Pre-LOI engagement is when an attorney earns their fee.
