Sell Your Business on Favorable Terms
Building a successful business is a commendable accomplishment. Make sure that you maximize the return on your hard work and perseverance when you sell. Our law firm focuses on helping business sellers:
- Maintain the confidentiality of your business’s financial information and trade secrets.
- Negotiate the sale terms professionally and overcome deal breakers.
- Decrease the chances of post-sale liability for fraud or breach of warranty claims.
- Comply with federal and state laws.
- Avoid unnecessary tax consequences.
- Properly dissolve the business entity after the sale closes.
For instance, before you market your business for sale, we can help you review and update your company’s documents to reflect the correct ownership structure and to ensure that your company has in place enforceable business operating procedures, employee benefit plans, employment agreements—including non-compete and nondisclosure agreements, intellectual property filings and agreements, real estate and equipment leases, and permits and licenses.
After you attract a potential buyer, our law firm will advise you about the use of confidentiality agreements, drafting a deal memorandum or letter of intent, and responding to due diligence requests.
Throughout the process, our closing attorneys will make sure that all of the documents are error-free and reflect exactly what terms you expect to help ensure a smooth closing.
Most importantly, our representation doesn’t stop when we transfer the closing funds. If there are any post-closing difficulties or disputes with the buyer, we will advise and consult with you about your options and best course of action. If the matter goes to court or arbitration, we can provide you with zealous representation in the litigation, and because we were with you every step of the way, you won’t have to spend a lot of time and money on lawyers who aren’t familiar with the people or the deal.
