The Stakes

Buying, selling, or transferring a business is the highest-stakes thing most owners ever do — and weak counsel is the most expensive line item in the deal.

It rarely shows up as one dramatic mistake. It is terms you didn’t fully understand, a partnership with no buy-sell when an owner wants out, or value lost because the company wasn’t ready for a buyer’s scrutiny. By closing, those gaps are no longer negotiable. We’ve handled 60+ equity and asset transactions and 20+ mergers — and we protect your position from the first term sheet to the last post-closing obligation.

01 — Selling your business

Selling your business

A sale is the payoff for everything you built — and the moment thin legal work costs the most. We prepare the company, run a clean process, and structure the deal so you keep what you negotiated.

02 — Buying a business

Buying a business

Buying is faster than building — if you know what you are actually acquiring. We run diligence, structure the deal, and paper it so the company you close on is the one you were promised.

03 — Ownership transitions

Ownership transitions

Some of the hardest deals are between the people who already own the company. Adding, removing, or buying out an owner is where partnerships either resolve cleanly — or fall apart.

04 — Deal foundations

Deal foundations

Every transaction rests on a handful of documents that decide who carries the risk. These are the terms that look like boilerplate — and quietly determine how the deal ends.

A lawyer who has seen how deals blow up

The value of deal-tested counsel is knowing, in advance, where this one will try to go wrong — and protecting your position from LOI to post-close.

Thin deal counsel

Underlawyered

  • A template LOI that locks in bad terms
  • Diligence gaps that surface after closing
  • Reps and indemnities you never fully understood
  • Owner disputes with no buy-sell to fall back on
  • A generalist learning M&A on your deal

At a high level: get the company ready, take it to market or to a known buyer, sign a letter of intent, survive due diligence, negotiate the definitive purchase agreement, and close. The legal work runs through all of it — structuring the deal, protecting your position in the agreement, and clearing the conditions to closing. The earlier counsel is involved, the more leverage you keep.
