Acquisition/Sale of Business
Whether you are buying a business or selling
your existing business, it is imperative to
have an attorney represent your interests
and ensure that the transaction has been
thoroughly documented and the necessary
documents are drafted for both parties to
sign. Buyers and sellers have different
needs and interests we have represented both
buyers and sellers in countless transactions
over the years. An important note: An
attorney should never represent both the
buyer and seller since there is an inherent
conflict of interest existing between the
parties. Each party should retain its own
counsel for the sale to ensure all issues on
each side are adequately addressed. We can
assist you prepare the letter of intent, the
purchase agreement, the bill of sale, any
assignments for intellectual property or the
lease, the promissory note, loan agreements,
personal guaranty, security agreement,
transitional employment or consulting
agreement, UCC1 financing statement, as
well as any additional agreements required
by the specific transaction.
