Meet Patrick “PJ” McIntyre
Owner of M&A Brokerage Group | Propane Business Broker | Attorney
I help owners of propane distribution companies sell their businesses. As the owner of M&A Brokerage Group, I handle each engagement personally, from the initial review of the company through buyer discussions, negotiations, and closing.
My role is to understand what you want from the sale, present your business effectively, and advocate for your interests throughout the transaction.
A Family Business Serving Propane Owners
My father, Pat McIntyre, founded M&A Brokerage Group in the 1998. I worked alongside him before his retirement and now own and operate the business. Although he has since passed away, the firm remains part of our family's story.
That experience shapes how I approach the owners I represent. For many, a propane company reflects years of work across generations, relationships with employees and customers, and a family name in the community. Those considerations deserve a place in the conversation about a sale.
I understand the personal significance of taking over a business built by a parent. When we discuss your company's future, I want to understand what you hope to preserve, what you are ready to change, and what a successful transition would mean for you and your family.
Acquisition experience that informs the details
Before representing propane sellers, I served as in-house corporate counsel on business acquisitions. That experience clients insight into how buyers evaluate opportunities, conduct due diligence, and negotiate transaction agreements.
Today, I apply that background to the business side of a propane company sale. I analyze offers, develop proposed terms and counterproposals, and work through the commercial provisions of transaction documents with owners and their advisors. My involvement includes the details that can affect the value and certainty of a sale: payment terms, purchase-price adjustments, holdbacks, closing conditions, and obligations that continue after closing.
legal expertise on your side
My legal background informs how I evaluate offers, develop counterproposals, and work through transaction documents. I help owners understand how proposed terms affect their proceeds, responsibilities, and ability to complete a sale, and I remain actively involved as those terms are negotiated.
I also maintain a working library of draft agreements and provisions drawn from my legal and transaction experience. Where appropriate, these materials provide practical starting points for proposed terms and discussions with the seller’s counsel. This allows me to contribute specific language and alternatives as the parties work toward an agreement that reflects the negotiated business terms.
Education & Experience
I earned my bachelor's degree from Indiana University and my law degree with honors from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. I am licensed to practice law in Indiana.
M&A Brokerage Group provides business brokerage and transaction advisory services. The firm's brokerage engagement does not create an attorney-client relationship.
