Buying or selling a business is one of the most significant events in a company’s lifecycle. These transactions involve complex negotiations, financial risks, and extensive documentation. Our attorneys provide end-to-end legal guidance throughout the mergers and acquisitions (M&A;) process, protecting your interests at every stage and ensuring a smooth and successful closing.
Thorough due diligence is the foundation of a successful transaction. We identify potential risks, hidden liabilities, and contractual issues before a deal is finalized, giving our clients the insight needed to make informed decisions.
Our due diligence services include:
• Reviewing corporate records and financial disclosures
• Examining contracts, leases, and vendor agreements
• Identifying potential litigation or regulatory exposure
• Assessing intellectual property ownership and protection
• Evaluating employment agreements and labor issues
The structure of a transaction can significantly impact taxes, liability, and long-term business strategy. We design deal structures that balance risk and reward while aligning with your financial and operational goals.
We assist with:
• Asset purchases vs. stock purchases
• Structuring mergers, consolidations, and reorganizations
• Designing earn-out agreements and contingent payments
• Addressing antitrust and regulatory considerations
Our attorneys negotiate skillfully to secure favorable terms while keeping deals on track for timely completion. We prepare and review all necessary documentation to ensure accuracy, compliance, and enforceability.
Key documents include:
• Letters of intent and confidentiality agreements
• Purchase and sale agreements
• Employment and non-compete agreements for key personnel
• Closing documents, schedules, and exhibits
From initial negotiations to post-closing matters, we handle every stage of the transaction.
We focus not only on the legal aspects, but also on the strategic goals of your business.
