Once the ink dries…

The value of your acquisition immediately falls into question…Why?

Hundreds, if not thousands, of contracts that need to be transferred during a critical time window. 

Which can result in millions of dollars in lost value if those contracts aren’t properly transferred and negotiated quickly.

Law firms and consulting groups usually excel in structuring and closing deals but often leave the intricate post-closing integration to the acquiring companies.

At this point in the acquisition process you don’t need more advice from firms that are trying to bill as many hours as possible…

You need proactive execution from a team that has a specialized combination of complex project management and legal expertise.

That is why we developed our Oasis Cycle® - designed to streamline the transition work from a
contract management perspective.

Our unique blend of skilled personnel, advanced technology, and proprietary processes not only reduces the burden on the acquiring company's internal teams…but also mitigates legal and business risks associated with the transition phase of M&A deals.

This process has been proven to save and increase value of an acquisition because contracts are transferred (and negotiated for higher values) in a matter of weeks.

I invite you to connect and message me if you feel overwhelmed and lack the necessary infrastructure to transfer contacts during your post-acquisition transition.

Honored to Attend the North American Blockchain Summit & VIP Dinner at the George W. Bush Presidential Center

I was deeply honored to attend this year’s North American Blockchain Summit and the accompanying VIP dinner at the iconic George W. Bush Presidential Center and Museum. The setting was inspiring, the conversations invigorating, and the company exceptional.

What made the experience even more meaningful was seeing so may thought leaders, including three that have been featured guests on my podcast M&A+ The Art After the Deal:

Lee Bratcher
As President and Founder of the Texas Blockchain Council, Lee has been instrumental in shaping Texas’s digital asset policy and pushing the state toward regulatory leadership in blockchain.   On the podcast, we explored his journey from academic research to advocacy, and how he’s building the infrastructure to make Texas a blockchain hub.

Joshua Smeltzer
A partner at Gray Reed, Joshua brings deep legal acumen to the intersection of corporate law and digital assets. His contributions on the podcast reflect his sharp insights into transactional structures, regulatory risk, and deal execution in a blockchain-enabled world.

Tim Savage
Tim leads the Blockchain & Digital Assets practice at Weaver, bringing a tax and accounting lens to this dynamic space.   On our podcast, he unpacked how M&A deals change when a target holds crypto, shared tax traps in carve-outs and integrations, and discussed how digital assets quietly drive post-close value.  

The Summit served as a notable crossroads of innovation, policy, and enterprise. It affirmed my belief that we’re in a transitional moment for blockchain adoption, not just as a technical infrastructure, but as a force reshaping corporate strategy, regulation, and value creation.

I’m grateful to the organizers, the venue, and every speaker and attendee who made this a memorable gathering. If you’re curious about any of the conversations (or want to hear episodes with Lee, Joshua, or Tim), check out my podcast M&A+ The Art After the Deal.  Also check us out at In2edge.com.
