Practice
Middle-market M&A doesn't require a fifteen-lawyer deal team. It requires one experienced dealmaker who owns the matter end to end, moves at the speed of the transaction, and tells you what actually matters before you pay to find out.
We represent business owners, founders and boards in company sales — to public companies, private equity firms and PE-backed platforms — working directly with owners and their investment bankers. On the buy side, Jeffrey has sourced and executed acquisitions as both outside counsel and in-house head of corporate development.
As founders and operators ourselves, we bring an owner's perspective to the terms that decide what you actually take home: purchase price adjustments, seller financing, rollover equity, earn-outs, indemnification and post-closing commitments.
Fee and scope are set before work begins. If truly unforeseen work outside that scope comes up, we flag it immediately and agree a reasonable adjustment with you.
No hand-offs. Every markup and call comes from the person who has run the matter since the letter of intent.
With no associate bench to keep billable and AI handling first-pass diligence and drafting, clients routinely spend half or less of what a comparable deal costs at a traditional firm.
Before you sign a letter of intent. The terms that decide what you actually take home, such as purchase price adjustments, earn-outs, rollover equity and indemnification, are often set in the letter of intent, so it pays to have counsel involved while they are still open.
Transactions are quoted on a flat fee for an agreed scope, set before work begins. If truly unforeseen work outside that scope comes up, we flag it immediately and agree a reasonable adjustment with you.
Both. We represent business owners, founders and boards selling to public companies, private equity firms and PE-backed platforms, and we represent buyers in acquisitions and roll-ups.
Negotiate and draft the purchase agreement and related documents, manage legal due diligence and disclosure schedules, work with your investment banker and accountants, and run the closing process through to signing and funding.
Let's talk early — before the letter of intent, when the terms that matter most are still open.
