Eric Pacifici and Kevin Henderson tackle one of the most contentious issues in deal negotiations on Main Street Deals: determining what terms are actually "market" in lower middle market M&A. They break down how market standards vary dramatically based on deal size, with escrows being standard in mid-market transactions but nearly nonexistent on Main Street. The discussion covers how buyer type, financing structure, industry, and negotiating leverage all influence what qualifies as market practice, and why even experienced attorneys from different markets can have completely opposing views on the same deal points. They discuss: - Why the ABA Private Target M&A Deal Points Study is considered the gold standard for market data despite its membership requirements - How inexperienced lawyers misuse deal point studies by citing statistics without understanding the underlying rationale - The critical role of deal diplomacy in challenging opposing counsel's market positions without destroying the transaction - Why clients ultimately live with post-closing risk regardless of what market studies suggest This episode gives buyers, sellers, and their advisors a practical framework for navigating market standard disputes in small business acquisitions.
