Business and Tax Planning/M&A Transactions

Important to you, important to us.

As a business owner, you understand the complexities of business ownership. From its founding, to the many legal, tax and business issues that arise, we hope to become the trusted advisor that helps you through every hurdle and milestone of the life-cycle of your business.

From establishing a brand new business, to day to day operations, ownership, and transitioning, we’re here with advice that’s timely and informed. We understand the challenges of forming, organizing and operating new businesses, including entity selection and taxation, capital raising, and drafting of the governing documents such as LLC agreements, partnership agreements, and shareholder agreements. We also work with you to negotiate and draft a wide range of documents used in the operation of the business, from service agreements to supply and vendor contracts to licensing agreements, as well as employment agreements and non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements. Whether you are looking to sell your business or transition it to future generations, or if you are on the other side looking to acquire a business, we are here to guide you. We structure, negotiate, document, and close all forms of mergers and acquisitions (whether asset or equity based), divestitures, tax-free reorganizations, and divisions.

It can be quite daunting, but that’s why we’re here. In developing a hands-on relationship with you and your business, we will truly understand your business inside and out, and that will help us balance your desires and needs with the legal, business and tax implications that are ever-present in starting, owning, operating, and selling or transitioning a business.
