Business Transactions
The firm represents buyers and sellers in private-company transactions, including asset purchases, equity purchases, and transactions involving both an operating business and commercial real estate. The work begins with the proposed economics and structure, then proceeds through diligence, documentation, financing coordination, and closing.
Each transaction is managed through a defined closing process. Purchase agreements, disclosure schedules, consents, ancillary documents, and post-closing obligations are prepared as a complete set rather than addressed piecemeal at the end of the deal.

FAQs
Asset deal or equity deal?
Tax treatment, liability inheritance, and third-party consents usually decide it — buyer and seller often want opposite answers, which is where structuring earns its fee.
How long does a private deal take?
Weeks to months, driven mostly by diligence and financing. A disciplined checklist is the difference.
Do you work with our CPA and banker?
Yes. The firm regularly coordinates with clients’ accountants, lenders, brokers, and other advisors and can lead or support the legal workstream.
