Questions to Ask Any M&A Attorney Before Hiring

Use these before you call any firm, including ours.

1. "Who will actually handle my transaction?"

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.

2. "How many M&A transactions has the lead attorney closed in the past 12 months?"

Volume indicates current, active deal experience, not just credentials from years ago.

3. "What is your experience with my deal size and industry?"

A $500K SBA acquisition and a $50M PE deal require different skill sets. Make sure the attorney has handled transactions similar to yours.

4. "Will you coordinate with my CPA, financial advisor, and broker?"

M&A transactions require a team. Your attorney should work with your other advisors, not in a silo.

5. "How do you handle post-closing disputes?"

Reps, warranties, and indemnification claims surface months after closing. Ask whether the firm handles post-closing litigation or refers it out.

6. "What is your fee structure, and what drives cost?"

Hourly, flat fee, or hybrid. Ask what factors increase legal costs so there are no surprises.

North Carolina Legal Considerations for SPAC & Business Combination Law

Non-Compete Laws

Enforceable but no blue-pencil. Overbroad covenants are void. Strict consideration required.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions require filing with the North Carolina Secretary of State. Annual reports are required. The Department of Revenue requires notification for asset purchases.

Key North Carolina Considerations

  • North Carolina courts' refusal to blue-pencil non-competes makes precise drafting essential and creates significant risk for acquirers relying on the target's existing non-compete portfolio
  • North Carolina's 2.5% corporate income tax is the lowest flat rate among states with a corporate income tax, making it highly competitive for entity structuring
  • North Carolina eliminated its franchise tax effective 2024, further improving the state's competitive position for entity formations and acquisitions

"The SPAC structure is not a shortcut. It trades traditional IPO scrutiny for de-SPAC scrutiny, and the SEC has gotten much more aggressive about the latter. The real work is in the business combination, not the IPO."
