Buying and Selling Small Businesses
Whether you are an investor acquiring a small business or a business owner preparing to sell after years of hard work, you’ll want more than a “handshake deal” to protect your interests. We work with our clients and their tax advisors from the very beginning to help decide the best way to structure a transaction, whether that means an asset sale, a stock purchase agreement, a spin-off or a merger.
Beginning with preliminary negotiations and letters of intent, we can assist our clients with preparing deal documents, orchestrating due diligence, managing closings, and advising on post-closing matters. We strive to take a proactive approach that involves determining what our client’s needs and wants are from the deal, and working to keep our client informed throughout the process.
By treating the counter-parties and their counsel as collaborators rather than adversaries, we work to achieve a smooth transaction that optimizes legal spend while ensuring our clients’ goals are achieved quickly and efficiently.
