We engage selectively with capitalized founders and investors in Westlake Hills and nationwide:
Austin has evolved from a mid-tier tech market into one of the nation's hottest M&A environments, fueled by the Tesla, Oracle, and Samsung presences and a thriving startup ecosystem. The city leads in SaaS, semiconductor, and clean energy acquisitions. Dell Technologies' headquarter presence creates a massive supplier and partner ecosystem of acquisition targets.
Austin's rapid growth has created intense competition for quality targets, with valuations rising faster than in other Texas metros. Many founders are younger and less experienced with exits, creating opportunities for buyers who can educate on deal process.
Austin's population has grown over 30% in a decade, and its concentration of engineering talent (UT Austin produces 10,000+ STEM graduates annually) makes it easier to scale acquired technology businesses.
Texas's franchise (margin) tax applies to businesses with revenue exceeding $2.47 million and can create unexpected tax liability during ownership transitions - proper entity structuring during the acquisition is essential.
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 only if ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. Mandatory reformation.
Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Texas Secretary of State. Franchise tax (margin tax) compliance is required. The Comptroller's office handles tax clearance certificates for asset purchases. Public Information Reports are required annually.
