Commercial Transactions
Every company, whether it is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, has a life cycle. Each part of the life cycle of a company has commercial transactions involved, and having experienced legal counsel during those periods is essential to maximize your revenue and decrease your business risk.
For example, we help businesses with each of the following stages in the business life cycle:
Idea – protect your idea with intellectual property and non-disclosure agreements
Planning – how to best structure the company with regard to ownership and tax
Incorporation – making sure the formation documents and shareholder documents are properly prepared and executed, including securities laws considerations and buy-sell provisions for owner exits prior to sale of company
Day-to-day operations – employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, distribution agreements, master service agreements, purchase order terms and conditions, directors’ meetings, shareholder meetings, member meetings
Growth and expansion (or reductions) – purchasing commercial real estate, leasing commercial real estate, buying assets, selling assets, working with investors
Exit (Sale to private equity, competitor, family member(s) or closure) – stock sale, asset sale, mergers, promissory notes, security agreements, non-solicitation agreements
