I represent founders, business owners, strategic buyers, independent sponsors, and acquisitive portfolio companies in the purchase and sale of businesses.

​

Buying or selling a company involves more than agreeing on a price. The structure of the deal determines what transfers, when and how the price is paid, which liabilities the buyer assumes, and what the founder’s role or ownership looks like after closing. I help clients work through those decisions, negotiate terms that reflect the deal they intend to make, and get to closing with a clear understanding of their obligations.

​

For buyers

I help clients evaluate and structure acquisitions, address issues uncovered in diligence, negotiate purchase agreements, and plan for the transition of customers, employees, contracts, and key assets.

​

For sellers

I help founders protect what they’ve built while negotiating the purchase price, earnouts, rollover equity, post-closing roles, and the risks they may continue to carry after the sale.

 

For independent sponsors and acquisitive companies​

I provide transaction counsel on platform and add-on acquisitions, working with the deal team to address legal risks and move the transaction forward.
