Our Dallas M&A Lawyers represent businesses through all phases of a transaction, including:

Acquiring a business requires careful legal and financial due diligence, strategic deal structuring, and clear documentation to protect your investment. From LOIs to closing, our Dallas M&A lawyers guide buyers through every stage of the process. We help evaluate risks, negotiate terms, and ensure the deal aligns with your business goals.

Selling your business is a major milestone that demands thoughtful preparation, clear negotiation, and protection from post-closing liability. Our Dallas M&A lawyers help business owners navigate the entire sale process—from preparing the company for market to negotiating terms and closing the deal. We work to maximize value while minimizing risk.

Asset transactions allow buyers to acquire specific parts of a business—like equipment, contracts, or customer lists—while avoiding unwanted liabilities. These deals require precise documentation and careful allocation of risk. Our Dallas M&A lawyers help clients structure and negotiate asset purchases and sales to ensure a smooth transfer and clear legal protection.

Thorough due diligence is essential to uncover potential liabilities, evaluate risks, and confirm the value of a business before closing a deal. This includes reviewing contracts, financials, compliance, employment issues, and more. Our Dallas M&A lawyers lead and support due diligence efforts to give clients the clarity they need to make informed decisions.

The structure of a deal—whether it’s an asset sale, equity transfer, or hybrid approach—has lasting legal, tax, and operational consequences. Every term, from payment structure to indemnities, can shift the balance of risk and reward. Our Dallas M&A lawyers help clients negotiate and structure deals that align with their goals and protect their long-term interests.

Letters of intent and term sheets set the tone for a successful transaction by outlining key deal terms before full agreements are drafted. While often non-binding, these documents carry strategic and legal weight. Our Dallas M&A lawyers help clients negotiate and draft LOIs and term sheets that preserve leverage, manage expectations, and reduce risk down the line.

Even after a deal is signed, disputes can arise over earnouts, indemnity claims, or breaches of representations and warranties. These conflicts can threaten the value of the transaction and strain business relationships. Our Dallas M&A lawyers help clients resolve post-closing disputes efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
