While some small transactions occur without counsel, buying or selling a business is usually a significant event with lasting consequences, and having counsel is strongly advisable. A lawyer can help you structure the deal, conduct or respond to due diligence, allocate risks through representations, warranties, and indemnities, and address issues involving employees, intellectual property, tax, and regulatory compliance. Our role is to help you understand the documents you are signing and to negotiate terms that reflect your goals and risk tolerance.
