Before signing any agreement, it’s essential to prepare from a legal standpoint. Here’s how we guide clients through the process:
Conducting Comprehensive Due Diligence: Imagine you’ve decided to sell your interest in a North Charleston logistics company. Before you can close the deal, you’ll need to verify the company’s financial health, review contracts, and uncover any potential liabilities.
We can guide you through this process, analyzing corporate records, identifying risks, and ensuring the business is positioned for a smooth transfer.
Structuring the Deal for Maximum Value: Let’s say your business is approached by a strategic buyer offering stock instead of cash. Should you take it? Deal structure affects everything from tax exposure to payment timing.
Our attorneys will work closely with you and your financial advisors to structure a deal that fits your goals and protects your gains.
