Frequently asked questions

In an asset purchase, the buyer acquires specific assets and liabilities of a company. In a stock purchase, the buyer acquires ownership interests in the entity itself. The structure affects liability exposure, tax treatment, and operational continuity. We help determine which approach best aligns with the client’s objectives.

Timing depends on deal complexity, due diligence scope, financing arrangements, and negotiation dynamics. Many transactions take several months from letter of intent to closing. We work to maintain efficiency while protecting our client’s position.

Due diligence is the review of financial, legal, operational, and contractual information before closing a transaction. It allows buyers to identify risk and sellers to prepare for disclosure obligations. Proper due diligence reduces surprises and protects value.

Representations and warranties are statements made by the parties regarding the condition of the business. They allocate risk between buyer and seller and often form the basis for indemnification obligations if inaccuracies are discovered.

Yes. We are actively involved in negotiation strategy, structuring discussions, and drafting all key transaction documents to ensure consistency between negotiated terms and final agreements.
