Fixed Fee M&A

This is the team to build out fixed fee work here at Stock Legal, along with our talented corporate lawyers who already have experience in fixed fee work for to build out corporate infrastructure for our clients. We are excited to translate that into fixed fee M&A!

Businesses get bought and sold in a lot of ways, and the legal needs of the parties can vary substantially from deal to deal. Contrast, for example, the needs of a key employee purchasing the small business she has worked at for years and wants to continue managing day-to-day, with those of a private equity owned business purchasing a company in a distant city to kick off a new geographical territory.

Despite our love for fixed fee Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) legal services, we readily acknowledge that some deals and projects are better suited for the hourly legal fees model. In fact, it is only by making sure that all our fixed fee deals are appropriate to the program that we can sustain and grow our fixed fee M&A service.

Today, we are going to tackle the question – Why do experienced lawyers have such a hard time estimating legal fees?

One of the big differences between the fixed fee M&A services and traditional services is the role and participation of the client in the transaction. While the deal process necessarily involves factors that we can’t completely control, the Stock Legal Fixed Fee M&A program is designed to keep the business owner involved, informed, engaged, and instrumental as a part of the deal team.
