40 | Choosing Software M&A Counsel: What Founders Should Know Before Their Exit
In this episode, Mike Lyon and guest Mike Greco discuss how software founders should select M&A counsel when preparing to sell or raise capital. They emphasize hiring a transaction‑focused lawyer with deep SaaS/AI experience, in‑house tax and IP specialists, and a responsive team that can match the buyer’s high‑performing counsel. Common pitfalls include relying on a familiar but inexperienced local attorney, overlooking conflicts of interest, and underestimating the importance of speed and communication. The right lawyer can streamline negotiations, protect key deal terms, and help founders focus on valuation rather than getting bogged down in legal minutiae.
