Why Choose Merritt Law?
From equity and asset purchases to sales of all sizes, the mergers and acquisitions process can be complicated. Any such transaction requires input from several parties to ensure the remaining or resulting business (or remaining businesses with either significantly additional assets or significantly less assets) can continue to operate smoothly—both throughout the transaction and after it’s completed.
Legal snags are all too common in mergers, acquisitions, and other significant equity and asset sale transactions, and it takes an adept and experienced lawyer to ensure each crucial step is properly and strategically completed. It is also crucial that all agreements negotiated in such transactions are clearly and correctly written so as to be well understood by all business entities involved to avoid further misunderstandings, conflicts, and even disputes.
An experienced legal firm specializing in corporate matters, the Merritt Law team is the trusted mergers and acquisitions lawyer for many well-respected businesses across diverse industries, both locally in Austin and throughout the state of Texas.
Merritt Law’s team is anchored by founder Johnny Merritt, whose focus is forging long-lasting client relationships. As your lawyer covering mergers, acquisitions, and other significant equity or asset purchases, our team will work hard to:
- Understand from the outset precisely the Clients’ desires, objectives, and goals
- Learn unique business styles and methods to tailor our representation to be consistent with those styles and methods
- Complete all assignments with supreme attention to detail
- Navigate difficult negotiations alongside our clients with a focus, to the extent possible, on win/win results to promote continued positive business relationships

- Avoid legal disputes
- Negotiate and help find solutions to existing legal disputes to avoid costly, distracting, and time-consuming lawsuits, with a view that lawsuits are a seldom needed remedy of last resort
