Strategic Legal Guidance for Business Growth and Transition

At Suri Law PLLC, we recognize that a merger or an acquisition can represent a turning point for your business. Whether you are expanding into new markets, consolidating operations, or planning an exit, these transactions require a careful balance of legal precision and business strategy.

Our firm, serving clients throughout Queens, Long Island, and the greater New York City area, is dedicated to helping business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors structure and complete transactions that create long-term value while protecting their interests.

Comprehensive M&A Services

We provide end-to-end support for mergers, acquisitions, and related business transactions, including:

Deal Structuring & Strategy

Every business transaction is unique. We help you determine whether an asset purchase, stock sale, transfer of LLC membership interest, merger, or joint venture is the most optimal way to achieve your objectives. Our team works closely with you to ensure the deal structure aligns with both your financial and operational goals.

Due Diligence Review

Thorough due diligence is critical to uncovering liabilities and assessing the true value of a transaction. We conduct detailed reviews of:

• Contracts and vendor agreements
• Corporate records and governance
• Intellectual property and licensing
• Employment and labor matters
• Regulatory and compliance risks

By identifying potential issues early, we give you the knowledge and leverage needed to negotiate and evaluate your transaction more effectively.

Negotiation & Transaction Documents

We draft, review, and negotiate all necessary agreements, including:

• Letters of intent (LOIs)
• Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
• Purchase and sale agreements
• Shareholder and partnership agreements
• Escrow and indemnification agreements and provisions
• Vendor agreements
• Employment and contractor agreements

Our goal is to deliver documents that are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your business interests.

Regulatory & Compliance Guidance

M&A transactions often involve multiple layers of regulation. We assist with federal and state compliance, including compliance with antitrust laws, securities regulations, licensing requirements, and industry-specific rules.

Post-Merger Integration Support

The work does not end once the deal closes. We advise clients on post-merger integration, ensuring that operational, cultural, and legal issues are addressed quickly to maximize synergies and avoid disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mergers & Acquisitions

What is the difference between a merger and an acquisition?

• A merger occurs when two companies combine to form a new entity.
• An acquisition happens when one company purchases another, either by buying assets or equity.

How long does an M&A transaction take?  
The timeline varies depending on deal size and complexity. Small transactions may close in a few months, while larger or regulated deals can take six months to a year or more. We are always happy to work with our clients to try our best to accommodate their targeted timelines without compromising the integrity of our work.

Why is due diligence so important?  
Due diligence helps uncover financial, legal, and operational risks. It ensures that buyers are reasonably informed about what they are purchasing and gives sellers an opportunity to address issues before closing.

Do small businesses need legal counsel for M&A?  
Yes. Even for small or family-owned businesses, M&A transactions involve contracts, liabilities, and regulatory issues. Having an attorney ensures your interests are protected and the deal is structured properly.

What happens after the deal closes?  
Post-closing, businesses must often integrate operations, update governance documents, and comply with reporting requirements. Legal guidance helps smooth this transition.
