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.

M&A Market: The Village & the Oklahoma City Metro

Oklahoma City's M&A market is anchored by the energy sector, with a concentration of oil and gas exploration, production, and midstream companies that generate deal activity across the value chain from wellhead services to pipeline operations. The city has diversified meaningfully into aerospace and defense, with Tinker Air Force Base and the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center creating an aviation services cluster. OKC's cost of living (among the lowest of any U.S. metro above 1M population) supports strong margins for acquired businesses across sectors.

Top M&A Sectors Near The Village

  • Oil & Gas Services & Midstream
  • Aerospace & Aviation Maintenance
  • Agriculture & Food Processing
  • Healthcare & Behavioral Health
  • Financial Services & Banking

Deal Environment

Oklahoma City offers a value-oriented M&A market with deal multiples well below national averages, particularly for energy services businesses during commodity downturns. The market is relationship-driven, with local intermediaries and the Oklahoma chapter of ACG playing important roles in deal origination.

Why Acquire in the Oklahoma City Area

Oklahoma's low cost structure, business-friendly regulatory environment, and absence of significant state-level compliance burdens make OKC-acquired businesses highly cash-flow efficient. The metro's energy sector expertise provides a talent pool for acquirers looking to build platforms in upstream and midstream services.

Oklahoma Legal Considerations

Oklahoma is notable for its near-complete prohibition of non-compete agreements (with narrow exceptions for the sale of a business and partnership dissolution), which means acquirers cannot rely on post-closing non-competes for key employees outside the seller themselves, making retention strategies and trade secret protections essential.

Oklahoma Legal Considerations for SPAC & Business Combination Law

Non-Compete Laws

Banned entirely. Sale-of-business and non-solicitation exceptions.

Filing Requirements

Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Oklahoma Secretary of State. Annual certificates are required for all entities. The Oklahoma Tax Commission requires tax clearance for asset purchases.

Key Oklahoma Considerations

  • Oklahoma's statutory ban on non-competes means target companies cannot rely on employee non-compete covenants for workforce retention, and buyers must use other mechanisms (retention bonuses, non-solicitation agreements) to protect talent investment
  • Oklahoma's oil and gas industry creates unique M&A considerations including mineral rights, Oklahoma Corporation Commission regulatory oversight, and complex joint operating agreements
  • Oklahoma's tribal jurisdiction issues can affect transactions involving businesses on tribal land or with tribal enterprise partners

"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."
