Are you considering buying or selling an existing business? 

Typically, businesses change hands by way of the purchase and sale of shares or the purchase and sale of assets. Do you understand the differences between these two methods? Do you know which method would be best for you?

There are important strategies involved in negotiating the sale or purchase of a business. Extensive investigation or due diligence is also a must for the buyer. 

An experienced business lawyer will be critical to the successful completion of the transaction, whether you are a buyer or a seller. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any other member of our business law group for more information.
