Listen to this exciting conversation about legal due diligence you should perform before buying a small business from author Joel Ankney of "Here's The Deal: Everything You Wish a Lawyer Would Tell You About Buying a Small Business."  

Joel has practiced law in Virginia for over 28 years. He graduated 1st in his class from William & Mary Law School, is a member of the Order of the Coif, and a past member of the William & Mary Law Review. He began his career at Hunton & Williams, then handled mergers and acquisitions at Troutman Sanders. Joel opened his own law firm in 2003 to focus on helping entrepreneurs start, acquire, operate, and exit businesses. Joel’s peers have selected him as a Virginia Legal Elite attorney 10 times. Joel also has been selected as a Top Attorney in Coastal Virginia.

Joel has published two books to help entrepreneurs. His first book, Here's the Deal, helps acquisition entrepreneurs understand the process of buying or selling a small business. His second book, Before You Leap, helps gig economy entrepreneurs understand the legal issues involved in starting and running a consulting, independent contractor, or freelance business. You can find both books on Amazon and by visiting his My Books page

Joel's office is in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and he represents entrepreneurs throughout Virginia.​
