Buying and Selling Businesses
Purchase or sale of a business is a complicated process for which experienced legal counsel is essential.  When representing clients in such transactions, we start the process by learning as much as possible about their objectives in the transaction in order to advise them on a comprehensive set of issues ranging from business matters and financial risks to legal hurdles.  Our goal is to anticipate challenges to proactively solve problems, from negotiations and due diligence phase to final closing.

There are two primary methods of transferring ownership of a business, either by sale of the businesses assets or by the transfer of ownership of the entity itself.

Asset Purchase Agreements (APA)
This is a form of a business sale where instead of purchasing the stock of the company, the buyer purchases specific assets of the company and assumes specific liabilities.  There are a number of issues that can arise in such transactions such as inventory, accounts receivable and payable, condition of assets, and lease of premises that must be addressed in the agreement. 

Our firm can guide business owners in the multi-stage process of buying or selling a business including:

  • Advising on the structure of the transaction

  • Negotiation of terms and drafting of the deal memorandum

  • Advising sellers on legal strategies to address issues raised during the due diligence process

  • Advising buyers on conducting legal due diligence

  • Drafting, reviewing and negotiating the extensive documentation involved in a business transaction, such as asset purchase agreements, stock purchase agreements and security agreements
