Business Acquisitions & Sales

Buying a business involves many legal decisions.
We represent individuals, partnerships and corporations in the purchase and sale of businesses, including many acquisitions of smaller businesses by large corporations. If you are planning to buy or sell a business, you need to understand that such transactions involve a myriad of components, including licensing requirements, due diligence, complex real estate transactions and leasing, and employment matters. Moreover, the structure of a business acquisition has a significant impact on future liability and tax matters.

Selling or dissolving a business involves important considerations. 
At the other end of a business life cycle, the clients we helped buy a business come to us to sell or dissolve it. Our firm can effectively oversee the sale of the business and separately manage the sale of any real estate holdings tied into the transaction. We are frequently called upon to arrange divestitures of partners in partnerships and corporations. We have abundant experience drafting buy-out agreements and handling dissolution and partition actions. In all aspects of the complex business transactions involved when transferring the ownership of a business, we work alongside you as business and legal advisors to protect all your business interests.
