Business Advisory
Guiding owners and buyers through the most important transaction of a company's life.
Buying or selling a business is often the largest transaction an owner will ever make. The structure and the documents determine how much you keep, what you remain liable for, and whether the deal closes at all.
Whether the deal is structured as an asset purchase or an equity/stock purchase changes the taxes, the liabilities, and the risk for both sides. We help you choose and negotiate the structure that protects you.
Sellers want a clean exit and to actually be paid; buyers want what they paid for, without hidden liabilities. We negotiate the representations, warranties, and indemnities that put the risk where it belongs.
