Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I protect confidential business information during an M&A process?

Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements are put in place before any sensitive information is shared. We draft and review these agreements to ensure your proprietary information is protected throughout the process.

Can an M&A attorney help if a deal falls apart after signing?

Yes. If a party fails to perform under a purchase agreement or letter of intent, there are legal remedies available including breach of contract claims and specific performance actions depending on the circumstances.

What are the most common deal structures in M&A transactions?

The two primary structures are asset purchases and stock purchases. Each carries different tax, liability, and operational implications. We help you evaluate which structure best protects your interests given the specific transaction.

What is due diligence and why does it matter?

Due diligence is the process of thoroughly reviewing a target company’s financials, contracts, liabilities, intellectual property, and legal standing before a deal closes. It protects buyers from inheriting undisclosed problems and gives sellers an opportunity to address issues that could reduce deal value.

How long does a merger or acquisition typically take in Nebraska?


Timelines vary based on deal complexity, due diligence requirements, and regulatory considerations. Straightforward transactions may close in 60 to 90 days. More complex deals involving multiple entities, regulatory approvals, or contested terms can take six months or longer.

What tax considerations are involved in business succession in Nebraska?

Succession transactions can trigger income tax, capital gains tax, gift tax, and Nebraska inheritance tax consequences depending on how the transfer is structured. Proper planning significantly reduces the overall tax burden on both the transferring and receiving parties.
