New Jersey Business Purchase Attorneys
Purchase Agreements, Asset Sales and Stock Sales
Our attorneys can draft and review your purchase agreement and conduct due diligence. These tasks are necessary for you to be able to proceed with confidence. We will help you understand how to structure your Offer Letter, and how to get through due diligence. For buyers, we can provide introductions between you and the clients and suppliers who can help your business grow. We can give you advice on the legal aspects of marketing and distribution. For sellers, we can help negotiate the sale of your business for maximum returns.
Our lawyers know how to help you succeed and grapple with important issues that will affect you every day. They can also answer questions related directly to buying a business, like:
- What's the difference between a stock sale and an asset sale?
- How do I perform due diligence when buying a business?
- How do I avoid problems in employment law?
Buyer's Counsel
Sellers sometimes have the upper hand by having the preponderance of negotiating power. They know the company. They have been preparing for this moment for perhaps years. They have recast their books and they have representation in the person of a broker lawyer and CPA and you are sometimes coming in from the cold. It is the buyer's job to level the field. It is not difficult to do if you are willing to take some time to prepare.
Buyers need to understand that a business transaction such as buying a business will necessarily involve negotiation, and the first negotiating opportunity for both parties is at the moment of their first meeting. Someone is going to come out on top, whether they know it or not. Even if neither party understands this, it's going to happen. We make sure our clients know the most important thing they can do to negotiate a favorable outcome. We make sure they know the questions to ask, what to say, and what not to say. Sometimes everything said and everything left unsaid at the initial meeting will set the tone for the entire transaction.
