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.

Columbus is Ohio's fastest-growing metro and a hidden gem for M&A activity, driven by a diversified economy spanning insurance (Nationwide), retail (L Brands, Abercrombie), healthcare (Ohio State Wexner Medical Center), and a booming technology sector. The city's emergence as a Midwest tech hub, bolstered by Ohio State University's research output and the Smart Columbus initiative, is creating new acquisition targets in logistics tech, insurtech, and health IT.
Columbus offers strong deal flow at Midwest valuations with less buyer competition than Chicago or the coasts. The city's central location and diverse economy make acquired businesses natural platforms for regional expansion.
Columbus has grown by over 15% in a decade, making it Ohio's growth engine. The metro's young, educated workforce (Ohio State is the largest university in the US by enrollment) and affordable cost of living create strong fundamentals for acquired businesses.
Ohio repealed its Bulk Sales Act but imposes a Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) on gross receipts exceeding $150,000 - acquirers must evaluate CAT liability and potential successor responsibility as part of transaction due diligence.
Enforceable with Raimonde reasonableness test. Reformation available.
Entity mergers and conversions must be filed with the Ohio Secretary of State. The Department of Taxation requires tax clearance for asset purchases. Biennial (odd-year) reports are required for domestic corporations.
Ohio State Bar Association. Voluntary bar. The Ohio Supreme Court handles attorney admission separately.
Bar association websiteFederal districts: N.D. Ohio, S.D. Ohio
Business court: Ohio Court of Common Pleas Commercial Docket (established 2012) Commercial dockets operate in Hamilton County (Cincinnati), Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), and Lucas County (Toledo). Ohio periodically adjusts the commercial docket program structure.
Ohio is a major Midwest M&A market with Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati generating substantial deal flow across healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and technology.
