Corporate & M&A · $20M–$300M Enterprise Value
Sixty-one deals closed. Zero of them our first.
Halloran Voss runs buy-side, sell-side, and sponsor-side M&A for mid-market companies — we’ve negotiated the same reps-and-warranties fights, escrow structures, and earnout disputes enough times to know which ones are worth having.
01 — Practice
We only do the deal. Not the retainer.
Halloran Voss doesn’t carry general corporate clients on monthly retainer, and we don’t run a litigation docket to fall back on between deals. Every lawyer in this firm is staffed on active transactions or is about to be. That means when you call us into a deal, you get partners who closed a deal like it in the last ninety days, not a generalist relearning deal mechanics on your clock. We take buy-side (acquisition structuring, diligence coordination, definitive agreements), sell-side (process management, competing-bid negotiation, closing conditions), and sponsor-side (platform and add-on acquisitions for four active private equity clients) — never all three roles in the same transaction.
“Every reps-and-warranties negotiation we run, we’ve run a version of it before. That’s the entire value we sell.”

03 — Team
Eleven lawyers. No junior associate runs your deal alone.
Every matter is staffed with a partner as lead counsel and one associate, never a larger “deal team” that adds hours without adding judgment.

“Halloran Voss found the earnout dispute clause our other counsel would have missed — the one that actually mattered eighteen months later when the buyer tried to shortchange the payout. We got the full number because of four sentences Peter insisted on in the purchase agreement.”
“We’ve used them on two platform deals and both add-ons. They don’t relearn our structure every time — that’s worth more than a bigger firm’s name on the door.”
