Watch this short walkthrough

An overview of our Texas business transaction practice — how we handle buy-side and sell-side deals, what's in scope at the flat fee, and how we work with our clients through closing.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Everything you need to close cleanly

Every Business Sales Package covers the same scope whether you're buying or selling. No upsells, no surprises.

  • Purchase agreement drafting and review

    Drafting the APA, SPA, or merger agreement when you're selling, or reviewing and marking up the seller's draft when you're buying. We negotiate the agreement through to executable form.

  • Due diligence support

    Preparing the due diligence response package when you're selling, or building and managing the diligence request list when you're buying. We flag issues that affect deal value or post-close risk.

  • Entity formation*

    Forming the acquisition entity for buyers, or restructuring entities to clean up the sale on the seller side. State filing fees billed at cost.

  • Term sheet and LOI negotiation (when needed)

    Negotiating the term sheet, letter of intent, or memorandum of understanding before the definitive agreement. Getting the framework right makes the rest of the deal easier.

  • Ancillary deal documents

    Promissory notes, security agreements, bills of sale, assignment agreements, escrow agreements, and the closing checklist — everything needed to actually move ownership and consideration.

  • Direct calls and emails with your transaction attorney

    Talk to the lawyer doing the work. No phone tree, no paralegal in the middle. Ongoing access throughout the engagement, from term sheet through closing.

  • Access to the Texas Business Sale Roadmap

    On-demand access to our Texas Business Sale Roadmap: Essentials for Buyers and Sellers — a practical course covering the full process, the legal documents, and the decisions that matter most on each side of a deal.

*Entity formation includes legal work; state filing fees are passed through at cost. Additional state filings, if needed, may incur further fees.

HOW IT WORKS

Four phases from term sheet to closing

Most business sale transactions close within 60-120 days from engagement, depending on diligence complexity and financing. The flat fee covers the work; timeline varies with the deal.

  1. Submit your deal information

    Use the order form below. Upload your LOI, term sheet, or MOU (PDF up to 25 MB), pay the flat fee, and we begin same-day. If you don't have a term sheet yet, we'll start there.

  2. Term sheet and structure

    We finalize the term sheet or LOI with the counterparty, lock in price, structure (asset vs. stock), key conditions, and timeline. This phase prevents most late-stage deal blow-ups.

  3. Diligence and definitive agreement

    Manage due diligence — request or response side — and draft or negotiate the purchase agreement. This is the heaviest phase of the work. Ancillary documents prepared in parallel.

  4. Closing and post-close

    Execute closing documents, coordinate the funds flow, and complete any post-closing items.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work for asset purchases or stock purchases?
Both. The structure choice (asset vs. stock) is usually one of the first things we work through in the term sheet phase since it drives tax treatment, liability assumption, and which assets and contracts transfer. The flat fee covers either structure. For merger transactions, the engagement scope is similar and the flat fee still applies.
What if my LOI or term sheet is already signed?
That’s fine and common. The flat fee still applies — we pick up the engagement at whatever stage your deal is in. If the LOI already commits to terms that need reworking, we’ll flag them and discuss strategy with you before going back to the counterparty.
What if the deal involves seller financing or an earnout?
Both are covered. Seller-financed deals add promissory notes, security agreements, and personal guaranties to the document package — all included. Earnouts add post-close measurement and dispute provisions to the purchase agreement, also included. We’ve structured both extensively across deal sizes.
Do you handle deals outside Texas?
Our practice is licensed in Texas. For deals where the target business is Texas-based or the buyer is forming a Texas acquisition entity, we handle the full engagement. For out-of-state targets, we can typically handle the buyer-side or seller-side work that’s federal or contractual in nature, but state-specific matters (e.g. real estate closings, state regulatory filings) may need local counsel — which we can coordinate with.
What's not included in the flat fee?
State filing fees (passed through at cost). Real estate closings if the deal includes real property — those run through a title company on their fee schedule. Litigation if a dispute arises after closing — that’s a separate engagement. Tax structuring beyond identifying material issues — we coordinate with your CPA on tax strategy rather than providing tax advice ourselves.
How long does a typical business sale take?
From engagement to closing, most deals run 60-120 days. The biggest timing variables are diligence complexity (a simple asset sale closes faster than a stock deal with employees, contracts, and IP), financing (cash deals close faster than SBA-financed deals), and regulatory items (industry-specific licenses, real estate). We’ll set expectations after seeing your term sheet.
Can you represent both sides of a deal?
No — we only represent one side per transaction to avoid conflicts of interest. Buyers and sellers each need their own counsel. If we’re already engaged on one side of a deal, we can’t switch.
What if the deal falls through after we start?
The flat fee is for the engagement, not contingent on closing. If your deal falls through partway, the fee has been earned for work completed. If a new buyer or seller emerges later, we can typically credit unused scope toward the new engagement — discussed case-by-case.
