I'm looking for referrals to transaction lawyers who have worked with roll ups in traditional service related industries in the U.S. Starting in Florida and expanding to other areas. Thanks very much.

^redacted‌, thank you for the referral. We have worked with a number of different firms based on the particulars of the situation, such as deal location, industry, transaction size and complexity, whether there is internal counsel on the board or executive team, what specific legal services are needed (e.g., organization/formation, M&A, senior debt, equity raise, real estate, regulatory, etc.), what the available budget is, and what the requirement is for alternative fee arrangements (e.g., rolling over or writing off some or all of the fee for busted deals, etc.). Feel free to contact me to discuss in more detail.

Thanks, ^redacted‌ - Scrutinize. Ask for proofs. Hire advisors having a proven history of working for buyers and sellers of the kind and size of deal you intend. Ask how they have FACILITATED deals that should and did occur. Hire deal makers, deal closers.

• Avoid advisors who don’t know enough about dealmaking for small and midsize companies. Not wanting to make mistakes these poseurs are more likely to poo-poo deals or (worse) bless them.

• Hire adequately experienced experts. When they tell you to kill the deal, kill it.

Compatibility among team members is essential.
