Self-Funded Search Fund Lawyer Inquiry

March 08, 2021
by a searcher from Mercer University in Atlanta, GA, USA
Hello,
I am in the early stages of a self-funded search and I'm looking for lawyer recommendations. I am located in Atlanta, GA. Would you recommend finding a local lawyer or does location not matter?
Thank you,

Seek out referrals from knowledgeable people within the searchfund and local M&A space. Burn through those free consultations! And remember that a good lawyer can't save a bad deal - make sure the deal is right before you start paying lawyers!
Good luck!
