Do I need an attorney for a small business acquisition?
Even smaller deals involve legal risks, from contract terms to liability issues. An attorney can help ensure the transaction is structured fairly and complies with applicable laws.

Can I sell only part of my business or specific assets?

What legal documents are involved in an M&A transaction?
Key documents often include a letter of intent (LOI), a purchase agreement, non-disclosure agreements, and due diligence materials. Each transaction is unique, but these are common starting points.

Do I need to register my fundraising with the SEC?
