Our firm advises on the best structure for a business purchase or sale, tailoring the transaction to meet the client’s specific requirements. We also assist with all phases of the due diligence process. You and your business will receive a personalized approach designed to maximize the value of your transaction and minimize potential risks and exposures.

Such transactions often involve debt or equity financing and structural changes to an existing business entity or the formation of a new entity. Our attorneys have backgrounds in business, commercial lending, and management, allowing us to understand the legal aspects of a deal and understand what is at stake from a business perspective.
Post-closing, we have a depth of experience working as outside general counsel and can assist with legal matters arising from the company’s transition from the seller to the buyer. These items include contracting, employment, corporate, disputes, and ongoing business transactional needs. If a deal goes south, we also represent clients through all phases of litigation and arbitration. We know that a new business environment post-closing may cause employees, board of directors, and owners to experience uncertainty and anxiety.
