• How do you foresee any potential legal issues that could affect my business transaction? 

• What strategies do you employ to minimize risk and ensure a successful transaction? 

• Can you provide references from past clients who have engaged in similar transactions? 

• How will you communicate with me throughout the transaction process? 

• What documentation will you need from me to get started? 

• Who else in your firm will be working on my case, and what are their qualifications?
