Are you buying or selling a business? Our M&A lawyers can help you through both asset and share transactions. From conducting initial due diligence to closing the transaction, we utilize modern technology and workflows to simplify the process.
M&A Made Simple
Transactions can be complex. Allow our business lawyers to simplify it for you.
Letter of Intent
Negotiating a letter of intent (LOI) ensures that buyers and sellers are on the same page about the primary business terms of the transaction.
Due Diligence
Buyers can request information about the Seller’s business to confirm the value and determine any risks.
Definitive Agreement
An Asset Purchase or Share Purchase Agreement outlines the terms of the agreement between the parties, including the price, structure and non-compete provisions.
Closing Documents
In addition to the definitive agreement, additional closing documents are prepared and negotiated to give effect to the transaction.
Electronic Closing
Both parties sign all closing documents electronically and the consideration is transferred to the seller. The transaction is completed but other obligations may be ongoing.
Additional Considerations
In addition to the basic requirements identified above, startup founders should consider the following.
Pre-Transaction Reorganizations
We can work with your accounting team to restructure or reorganize your company in a tax efficient manner prior to the transaction.
Hiring Employees/Contractors
As your business grows, you may need to begin hiring staff. You can do so by hiring an employee or a contractor.
Commercial Lease Review and Negotiation
Landlords often require consent to assign a lease on an asset transaction or a change of control. We can help you negotiate to obtain this consent.
Trademark/IP Registration
Protecting your brand through the registration and copyright of trademarks becomes essential to the protection of your business.
