Our Expertise

Mergers & acquisitions.

Buy-Side M&A Representation.

We represent entrepreneurs acquiring small and lower-middle-market businesses. Our clients pursue transactions between $500,000 and $15,000,000 in enterprise value. They identify as acquisition entrepreneurs, self-funded searchers, and independent sponsors.

Buying a business is a process, not a document.

We use a structured approach to give our clients confidence at every stage of the transaction.

How To Close A Deal.

Pre-LOI

Backed by the experience of closing countless deals, we offer strategic advice on deal structure. We prepare and negotiate Letters of Intent on behalf of our clients.

Kick-off & structuring

We take the time to understand our clients' objectives. Then we design transaction structures that optimize for their goals and mitigate potential downside.

Legal due diligence

We uncover and analyze legal risks. We advise our clients on what's standard for the market, and how to handle what's not.

Transaction documents

We turn structure and strategy into enforceable terms. We draft and negotiate the transaction documents that protect our clients' interests.

Closing

We coordinate with lenders, the seller, and other third parties. Our job is to keep the closing efficient and the surprises at none.

What Makes Us Different

M&A focus.

All we do is buy-side small business and lower-middle-market M&A. That means we understand the type of deal you want to do, and how best to advise on it. We focus on the issues that create real risk, not the ones that create busy work.

Disciplined team execution.

All we do is buy-side small business and lower-middle-market M&A. That means we understand the type of deal you want to do, and how best to advise on it. We focus on the issues that create real risk, not the ones that create busy work.

Judgment over volume.

We avoid high-volume, commoditized deal work and legal services outside the transaction context. Our focus stays narrow so our expertise can stay deep. We give advice you can actually act on.

Predictable fees.

Our fees are flat, milestone-based, and agreed upfront. You'll know the number before we start, and you'll know exactly when each portion is earned, whether at kick-off, the close of diligence, or closing. No surprises. No guessing.
