Mergers & acquisitions · Companies under $250M revenue
M&A Counsel for Companies Under $250 Million in Revenue
Most business sales and acquisitions in New York happen well below the size big-firm deal teams care about. Dispute Counsel represents buyers and sellers in companies with less than $250 million of revenue — owner-operated companies, family businesses, professional practices, and growing mid-market firms — with fixed fees instead of open-ended hourly billing.
Sell-side representation
We help owners prepare for a sale: cleaning up corporate records, reviewing contracts for change-of-control and assignment issues, negotiating the letter of intent, managing due diligence, and drafting or negotiating the purchase agreement, disclosure schedules, and closing documents. The goal is to protect the price you agreed to and limit what can come back to you after closing.
Buy-side representation
For buyers, we run legal due diligence, identify liabilities hidden in leases, contracts, employees, taxes, and litigation, and negotiate representations, warranties, indemnities, escrows, and holdbacks that match the real risk. We also coordinate with lenders, SBA financing, accountants, and brokers so the deal actually closes.
Deal structures we handle
Asset purchases, stock or membership-interest purchases, mergers, partner buyouts, earn-outs, seller financing, rollover equity, and management buyouts. Each structure carries different tax, liability, and consent consequences — we explain them in plain language before you commit.
Fixed fees, not surprise invoices
We quote a fixed fee for each stage of the transaction after a short scoping call, so you know the legal cost before the deal starts. See our M&A fixed-fee page for how pricing works, and our guide to stock versus asset sales for the key legal decisions sellers face.
