Key Considerations For A Successful Transaction
Whether you’re buying or selling a business, hiring the right attorney is paramount. Several crucial steps ensure your business sale or purchase goes according to plan. Some key aspects we assist with include:
- Due diligence: Carefully reviewing finances, contracts, intellectual property and more
- Deal structure: Negotiating and drafting the appropriate agreements tailored to your deal, such as stock purchase and sale agreements or asset purchase and sale agreements
