Jana,

I don't know any local companies involved in M&A but do have a checklist our corporate office provided covering relevant items to be investigated.  If you send me your contact info I'll scan a copy and send it to you.  Your local attorney would be the place I'd start and am sure they either handle M&A or deal with someone who does.
