Avoid the stressful and lengthy uncertainty of trying to handle this without legal counsel.  What is actually required to accomplish any of these three major steps in your business legal lifecycle®? Do you need to inform or be granted permission by a governing agency? Can you just draft a partnership contract to ensure your Merger is legal?  What happens when you’re sued a year from now for something that happened prior to your purchase/merger?  We can walk you through this process on a path that best suits your best interests in the transaction.

You know your business… She knows the law!

buying

When Acquiring a business, are you taking on their liability as well? Are you required to by law? Can you make stipulations wherein you choose to leave liability with the sellers? Will you need to retain sellers’ help for training to maintain operations?

selling

When Selling a business, are you evaluating your business worth correctly? What types of business-held assets can be uncommonly valuable? Can the buyers continue to use your name? Will you need to continue working at the business post-sale to ensure the operations transfer smoothly?

merging

When joining forces with another business and Merging two business practices into one mighty force to be reckoned with, how can you ensure each party is held accountable for their end of the bargain? What Assurances and Leverages can be put in place to ensure the most productive and profitable business endeavor? What does this Merger look like on a corporate level?

If you find yourself in a Corporate situation,

you call a Corporate Attorney.
