Purchase and Sale of Business Interests
One of the most interesting areas of business law practice is the purchase and sale of businesses and ownership interests in businesses (commonly referred to as “Mergers and Acquisitions”). These transactions are fascinating because of the wide variety of individuals, companies, motivations, and price points involved. The sophisticated mechanics of the transactions are also very interesting. We at Drexler Law are excited to assist you with the purchase or sale of a business, whether you are retiring and selling your family business, a growing company acquiring a competitor, or any other scenario in between.
While these transactions are exciting, they are also complex. There are many moving parts, many professionals involved, and many steps must be completed to ensure a successful deal. Each purchase and sale is unique, but all of them should be completed via written contract. Using a skilled attorney to represent you in the negotiation and drafting of the contract is critically important.
Involving professionals early in the process is also extremely important. The earlier we can advise you on the particulars of the transaction, the better positioned you will be for a smooth process and successful outcome. Drexler Law attorneys will work from the outset to navigate your course through a successful deal.
It can be tempting to believe the sale of a business is a straightforward process, especially if you trust the people on the other side of the deal. The reality is that understanding what each side is buying, selling, keeping, and transferring is almost always complex. Additionally, people often do not fully comprehend the extent of things like intellectual property rights, restrictive covenants, and post-closing responsibilities. A Drexler Law attorney will strive to help you understand the implications and mechanics of your transaction and protect your interests before and after closing.
