In M&A, the biggest risks are not always obvious on the surface.

During due diligence, buyers and sellers often uncover issues involving threatened legal claims, intellectual property, key contracts, regulatory compliance, and employment practices. Identifying these issues early can help the parties address risk before closing, whether through contract revisions, third-party consents, indemnification terms, escrow arrangements, or changes to the deal structure.

Considering a sale or acquisition? Lockaby PLLC helps buyers and sellers navigate the M&A process with practical, business-focused legal guidance.

Qui tam lawsuits allow private individuals to bring certain fraud claims on behalf of the federal government under the False Claims Act.

However, discovering questionable conduct does not automatically mean there is a viable qui tam case. The strength and source of the evidence, filing deadlines, the first-to-file rule, and how information is preserved can all affect what happens next. These lawsuits also begin under seal while the government investigates and decides whether to intervene.

The Department of Labor's 2026 agency rule list gives employers a preview of several workplace rules that may change in the coming months.

Notable items include independent-contractor classification, joint-employer status, tipped employees, and working-hour restrictions for 14- and 15-year-olds.

These planned rules are still at different stages, and the list does not change employers' legal obligations. For now, businesses should continue following current law while monitoring the proposals that could affect their workforce.

When workplace concerns come up, a well-run internal investigation helps employers understand what happened, preserve relevant evidence, protect employees, and determine whether corrective action is needed. The strongest investigations are prompt, impartial, organized, and grounded in facts.
