When you are ready to sell, you need a lawyer who understands what is at stake. Our Atlanta business sale lawyers represent owners selling companies across Technology, Logistics, Finance, providing sell-side legal counsel that protects your life's work, maximizes your value, and closes the deal on your terms.
Our managing partner provides selective business sale law counsel to clients in Atlanta and nationwide, including:
We engage selectively with capitalized founders and investors in Atlanta and nationwide:
Atlanta is the business capital of the Southeast, with M&A activity driven by logistics (home of UPS and Delta), financial technology (NCR, Fiserv), and healthcare. The city's position as a transportation hub creates unique opportunities in distribution, supply chain, and franchise businesses. Atlanta's robust Black business community adds diversity to the deal pipeline not seen in most markets.
Atlanta offers strong deal flow at valuations below the Northeast corridor. The region's rapid population growth and business formation rate create a steady supply of acquisition targets across all sectors.
Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport (the world's busiest) makes it the most accessible city in the US - a strategic advantage for acquirers building multi-location platforms that require frequent travel between portfolio companies.
Georgia enforces non-compete agreements under its 2011 Restrictive Covenants Act, which provides clearer standards than the prior common law framework - courts can now 'blue pencil' overly broad restrictions rather than voiding them entirely.
A structured, methodical approach to business sale law
We review your corporate records, contracts, and legal standing to identify anything that could reduce your sale price or slow down the deal, and we help you address it before buyers see it.
When offers come in, we analyze the terms beyond just the headline price, including structure, contingencies, financing risk, and post-closing obligations, so you can compare with clarity.
We negotiate the letter of intent to establish terms that favor you heading into due diligence, including purchase price structure, exclusivity limits, and closing timeline.
Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky personally negotiates the purchase agreement, limiting your representations and warranties, capping indemnification, and structuring escrow terms that protect your proceeds.
We manage the closing process, coordinate with all parties, and negotiate transition and non-compete terms so you exit on your schedule with your interests intact.
"Every transaction has a moment where the deal either gets structured properly or it doesn't. That moment usually happens before most people realize it. By the time you're negotiating the purchase agreement, the fundamental economics are already set."
Enforceable under 2011 statutory framework. Blue-pencil available.
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.
