ACQUISITION FEE
PACKAGES FOR SELLERS

Equity Legal offers flat-fee acquisition packages for both sellers and buyers in small to lower middle-market transactions. These packages are designed to give clients clearer legal budgets, structured deal support, and a practical path from letter of intent through closing. Our acquisition packages are organized by transaction size and calibrated for standard deal complexity, with additional services available through clearly priced add-ons. For transactions with unusual complexity, multiple entities, significant diligence, financing layers, or specialized regulatory issues, Equity Legal may recommend a higher tier or custom engagement. Our packages typically save thousands over other firms and give sellers comfort from unexpected billing associated with hourly engagements.

HOW PACKAGES WORK

*Unless otherwise stated, representation and all delivery times for packages start from the time an intake form is completed by the client after the execution of an Engagement Agreement and payment of the fee, once the Equity Legal has agreed to the engagement. However, this does not include revision time and does not include opposite party revision time. All package pricing assumes a standard transaction structure for the applicable transaction-size band. Package eligibility depends on transaction size, complexity, number of parties, diligence volume, financing structure, and ancillary document requirements even though a transaction may fall into a certain priced tier. Equity Legal may recommend a higher tier or custom engagement for matters involving unusual complexity or specialized issues. To discuss a proposed sale or acquisition, contact Equity Legal for an intake review and tier recommendation.
