Purchase and Sale
We help buy and sell businesses
We have extensive experience advising clients on buying and selling businesses, from the perspective of former private equity professionals. We can assist with structuring the transaction – for example, whether to sell the assets of the company or the ownership interest. We assist clients with term sheets, due diligence, and final transaction documents.
We also regularly assist clients with sales of majority and minority interests, including operating/shareholder agreements that govern each shareholder’s rights.
We can help with the following steps for your significant corporate transaction:
- Negotiate term sheet and transaction documents (e.g asset purchase agreement, stock purchase agreement, merger agreement, shareholder agreement)
- Conduct due diligence and identify key risks
- Prepare corporate approvals and guide your board and investors through the process
