Update: 2025-10-08
Description
Not every deal needs an army of lawyers and sky-high fees to get across the finish line…
So how are today’s owners navigating increasingly complex M&A—and why is buyer behavior making it more challenging than ever?
In this episode, Dennis O’Rourke, Partner and Chair of the Corporate, M&A and Securities Practice Group at Moritt Hock & Hamroff, shares why lower middle market companies don’t have to compromise on expertise or affordability—and explains how a dramatic shift in buyer dynamics, fueled by the rise of “other people’s money” (OPM), is adding new layers of complexity to deals.
You’ll discover…
- The surprising impact of buyers using investors’ and lenders’ capital—and why that’s changing diligence
- Why “simple” deals are rarely as straightforward as sellers think
- How to access big-firm legal expertise without big-firm price tags
- The hidden tension between buyers and sellers (and one way insurance is helping bridge the gap)
- The critical moment to bring in a specialist M&A lawyer—before it’s too late
