Three Reasons North Texas Business Owners Call Us
You're Ready to Exit
You've built something valuable and it's time to sell. We represent sellers from the first offer through final closing — protecting your purchase price, managing representations and warranties, and making sure what you agreed to is what you actually sign.
You're Buying Your First Business
Buying a business without legal representation is one of the most expensive mistakes a first-time buyer can make. We protect you from hidden liabilities, negotiate the terms that matter, and structure the deal correctly from the start — so you don't inherit someone else's problems.
Acquisition Is Part of Your Growth Plan
Some of the fastest-growing businesses in North Texas aren't just building — they're buying. If acquiring a competitor, supplier, or complementary business is part of your strategy, Reib Law provides the legal infrastructure to move quickly and close cleanly, deal after deal.
What's Included in Every Reib Law Acquisition Engagement
Every flat-fee engagement covers the full legal lifecycle of your transaction — from term sheet to closing table.
Letter of Intent (LOI)
Review or drafting of your LOI to lock in favorable terms before due diligence begins. The LOI sets your negotiating floor — we make sure it's built on solid ground.
Legal Due Diligence
Review of corporate records, contracts, IP ownership, litigation history, and key agreements. We identify legal risk before you're committed — not after you've closed.
Asset vs. Stock Structure Advice
We advise on the right deal structure for your situation — protecting buyers from inherited liabilities and helping sellers understand the tax and legal implications of each approach.
Purchase Agreement
Drafting or negotiation of the full purchase agreement — including representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, seller financing terms, and non-compete clauses.
Closing Document Preparation
All customary closing documents — bills of sale, assignment agreements, assumption agreements, officer certificates, and transition documents — prepared and coordinated for a clean close.
Advisor Coordination
Legal coordination with your accountants, tax professionals, and lenders so everyone is working from the same structure. We keep the deal moving without letting communication gaps stall your close.
Know Your Legal Cost Before the Deal Begins
Most M&A attorneys in North Texas charge $350–$600/hour with no ceiling. At Reib Law, your legal fee is fixed before we start — so you can model it into your deal from day one.

Access Plan members receive preferred pricing. Tier determination is based on transaction value and complexity in Firm's professional judgment. The fee agreement is provided before any engagement begins.
M&A Counsel That Understands Small Business — Not Just Big Deals.
Most M&A attorneys are built for private equity and Fortune 500. Reib Law is built for the North Texas business owner buying their first business, selling what they've spent a decade building, or acquiring a competitor to accelerate growth.
You Know Your Number Before You Sign
We price every engagement at a flat fee before work begins. No hourly clock, no invoice surprises. You can model your legal cost into the deal economics from the first conversation.
We're on Your Side of the Table — Only
We never represent both buyer and seller in the same transaction. You get dedicated representation with no conflict of interest — someone whose only job is to protect your position.
Business Context, Not Just Legal Mechanics
Scott Reib has worked with hundreds of North Texas entrepreneurs. He understands how business deals actually work — not just the legal documents. That perspective changes how we negotiate and what we protect.
Access Plan Members Move Faster
If you're already a Reib Law Access Plan member, your acquisition engagement starts with existing context — we already know your entity structure, your goals, and your risk tolerance. No onboarding from scratch.

Buying or Selling a Business in Texas — The Legal Reality
Most business transactions in North Texas fall apart for one of three reasons: the buyer didn't do proper due diligence, the purchase agreement didn't match the deal that was verbally agreed to, or the structure was wrong from the beginning and created tax or liability problems that surfaced months after closing.
At Reib Law, we've seen all three. Our job is to make sure none of them happen to you.
Whether you're buying your first business, selling a company you've built for a decade, or adding an acquisition to fuel your growth strategy, the legal work follows a predictable path — and the same core documents apply in every deal:
- Letter of Intent — the framework for your deal. Often treated as a formality by first-time buyers and sellers; actually one of the most important documents you'll sign because it anchors everything that follows.
- Due Diligence — the process of verifying what you're actually buying or selling. Legal due diligence covers corporate records, contracts, intellectual property, and any pending or threatened litigation. This is where most deal-killers surface.
- Asset vs. Stock Purchase — the structural decision that determines what liabilities transfer with the deal. Most small business transactions in Texas are structured as asset purchases to protect the buyer. Sellers often prefer stock sales for tax reasons. We advise on which structure serves your interests.
- Purchase Agreement — the definitive legal contract. Every representation made by the seller, every indemnification obligation, every post-closing restriction — it's all in here. This is not a document to sign without counsel.
- Closing Documents — the final execution package. Bills of sale, assignment agreements, transition documents, and anything else required to legally transfer ownership and conclude the transaction.
What makes Reib Law different is that we handle all of this at a flat fee — priced before engagement begins, based on transaction size and complexity. You know your legal cost before the deal is done, which means you can model it accurately and make decisions without uncertainty about what your attorney bill will look like.
If you're in Denton, Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, McKinney, or anywhere in North Texas and you're thinking about buying or selling a business — the right time to call is before you sign anything, not after.
