Mergers and acquisitions counsel for Daytona Beach businesses.
Skandalakis & Ross represents buyers and sellers of privately held businesses in Daytona Beach and across Central Florida. The M&A practice is led by Jack N. Ross, who works lower middle market transactions from both the legal side and the investment banking side: origination, valuation, diligence, negotiation, and closing.
Daytona Beach businesses span motorsports, aviation, hospitality, and healthcare. In Daytona Beach, we regularly see businesses in motorsports and events, aviation, and hospitality, each with its own contract, diligence, and structuring issues.
That dual perspective changes how the documents get drafted. The purchase agreement should match the economics the parties actually agreed to, and the working capital peg, escrow, earnout, and indemnity terms should hold up after the wire clears. We coordinate with your broker, banker, lender, and CPA and keep the deal on the timeline it was priced on.
The firm’s offices are in Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment) and Canton, Georgia. We meet Daytona Beach clients at the Oakland Park office, by video, or at your place of business. Florida matters are handled by Jack N. Ross, licensed to practice law in Florida.

Mergers & Acquisitions overviewAbout Jack N. RossOur attorneys
M&A lawyer questions from Daytona Beach clients.
Do you represent both buyers and sellers in Daytona Beach?
Yes, but never both sides of the same transaction. Each party to a deal should have its own counsel.
When should I bring a lawyer into a sale?
Before you sign a letter of intent. Exclusivity, price mechanics, working capital, and escrow terms set at the LOI stage are effectively binding in practice and are the hardest terms to renegotiate later.
How are M&A engagements billed?
Typically a flat fee by phase or hourly against a written estimate, agreed before work begins, so the legal cost is a known input to the deal economics.
Do you meet with Daytona Beach clients in person?
The firm’s offices are in Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment) and Canton, Georgia. We meet Daytona Beach clients at the Oakland Park office, by video, or at your place of business.
