We Help in Each Part of the Buying Process

Our business attorneys are ready to assist you throughout the entire business transaction, whether you need help understanding risks or navigating existing agreements. We support Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) buyers by providing practical, deal-savvy guidance that streamlines diligence, strengthens negotiations, and ensures the acquisition is structured for long-term success.

Research Mitigation & Protection

We conduct research to give you insight to the business’s legal, financial, and operational risks. This also includes informing you of outstanding liens, accounts payable, and other debts.

Legal Document Review

We’ll help you understand the business’s existing contracts, insurance policies, licenses, and permits, so you know about any potential obstacles.

Employee Agreements

We’ll review and draft any necessary agreements, including ones for employees, HR, non-compete clauses, compensation, and independent contractors.

Commercial Leases & Property Management

Our research and evaluation will allow you to consider the terms of any commercial leases, as well as gain greater understanding about who is responsible for property management and maintenance.

Assets & Stock Agreements

As you acquire a business, you’ll likely receive specific business assets and liabilities. When asset/stock terms are fully thought through, necessary consents, assignments, approvals are identified ahead of time and closing is both cleaner and faster, with fewer last-minute issues

Negotiation of Purchase Terms

We’ll advocate for your best interests in the purchase terms, so you’re able to receive a fair resolution. Negotiating purchase terms involves defining the key financial and legal details of the deal by price, payment structure, liabilities, representations, warranties, and closing conditions.

Earnouts, Rollover Equity, and Seller Notes

Our team helps design and negotiate earnouts, rollover equity, and seller notes that balance risk, reward, and leverage while minimizing post-closing disputes, all of which help strengthen outcomes.

Letters of Intent

We’ll craft these non-binding documents, so you and the seller both understand the goals and expectations of the transaction. A properly drafted LOI or term sheet will anticipate structural issues and give a buyer more protection.
