Sale & Purchase of a Business

How We Can Help

Whether you are starting a new chapter by acquiring a business or stepping back from one you've spent years building, business sale and purchase transactions require careful planning and properly structured agreements. The difference between an asset purchase and a share purchase has significant tax and liability implications for both parties — a choice that cannot be undone after closing. Getting the structure right at the outset protects your interests throughout the transaction and beyond.

For buyers, thorough legal due diligence is the foundation of a sound acquisition. We review the target business's contracts, leases, regulatory status, and operational obligations to identify risks that should inform the purchase price, the allocation of liabilities, and the conditions of closing. No transaction should proceed to closing without a clear picture of what is being acquired.

For sellers, the goal is a clean transaction that delivers the agreed value and limits post-closing exposure. We structure representations, warranties, and indemnities that are reasonable and defensible, and we prepare the full suite of closing documentation to ensure the transaction completes efficiently. Whether you are the buyer or the seller, our team brings practical transactional experience to every stage of the deal.
