Will I Need a Lawyer?
It is advisable to have a lawyer review the legal documents. It is important to note that the lawyer you use should be experienced in the business buying process and is able to handle the paperwork on a timely basis. Often times, deals can be very time-sensitive and may not withstand a week's delay while you wait for your lawyer to sign back a document.
M & A advisors are not qualified to give legal advice. However, keep in mind the fact that many lawyers are not qualified to give business advice. Your lawyer will be, and should be, looking after your interests; however, you need to remember that the seller's interests must also be considered. If your lawyer goes too far in trying to protect your interests, the seller's lawyer will instruct his or her client not to proceed. The transaction must be fair and reasonable for all parties.
