Mergers + Acquisitions
Our business lawyers represent buyers and sellers in mergers, acquisitions, business sales, asset purchases, stock purchases, and other strategic transactions. We help clients navigate every stage of the deal — from initial structuring and letters of intent through due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements, closing, and post-closing matters.
For sellers, we can help prepare the business for a potential transaction, identify and address legal issues before they become obstacles, navigate buyer due diligence, and negotiate the terms of the sale. For buyers, we conduct legal due diligence, identify potential risks and liabilities, structure the transaction, and negotiate agreements designed to protect the buyer’s interests.
We believe in fee transparency and provide estimates in advance. Our services are available on an hourly or fixed-fee basis, with ongoing general counsel options available for businesses that need continued legal support before or after a transaction.

Selling a Business
Selling a business involves much more than negotiating a purchase price. Our lawyers help business owners prepare for a potential sale, structure the transaction, navigate buyer due diligence, negotiate key deal terms, and prepare and negotiate the agreements necessary to complete the transaction.
We work with sellers to identify potential legal issues early, protect confidential information, address contracts and intellectual property, negotiate representations, warranties, indemnification and other important provisions, and guide the transaction through closing. Our goal is to help you protect the business you’ve built while keeping the deal moving toward a successful closing.
Buying a Business
Acquiring a business requires a careful understanding of what you’re buying — and the risks and obligations that come with it. Our lawyers help buyers structure transactions, conduct legal due diligence, identify potential liabilities, negotiate key business and legal terms, and prepare and negotiate acquisition documents.
From reviewing corporate records, contracts and intellectual property to evaluating employment, litigation and other potential risks, we help buyers understand the business before closing and negotiate protections where issues are identified. We guide our clients through the transaction from initial deal terms through closing and post-closing matters.
