For experienced buyers and those closing multiple deals into a portfolio, we can create processes, templates, and efficiencies to get deals closed following your protocols.
For first time buyers, we offer a pre-transaction bootcamp program to help you understand the process, the legal hazards, basic tax planning, and how to assemble the right team. Inquire about our Membership Program for Entrepreneurs through Acquisition for more details.
We don’t kill deals through risk aversion. We help you identify hidden legal and regulatory risks and build a team to help you evaluate other risks. Then we work with your priorities to get the price right as you place a value on risks. A lawyer’s role is to give you the tools to close the deal you want – not to de-risk the transaction. Amy Holmes and Alicia Goodrow have both worked as in-house counsel, seller’s counsel, and buyer’s counsel and learned that: risk can equal value; a perfect deal may not have much upside; and the client is the best party to decide what risks are too take and which to reject.
