Sorry to toot my own horn, but I'm not your average lawyer. I graduated in the TOP 1% of my class from one of the nation's top law schools (Berkeley Law). I received eight awards for the HIGHEST GRADE in individual courses, including Constitutional Law, Advanced Legal Research, and Advanced Legal Writing. I worked for three years at a top-flight litigation boutique, where my clients included billion-dollar, household-name companies. I started my own law firm two years ago. Why? Because I wanted to help REAL PEOPLE, not just big companies. I win big cases on behalf of people who were done wrong by businesses, employers, and others. I am more than qualified to advise on any dispute, and am particularly experienced in matters related to digital commerce and consumer protection. Let's go get justice, together.

Acquisitions Legal Questions and Answers

Acquisitions

C Corp

New York

Asked on May 22, 2023

C corp and exit strategies?

I am the founder of a small C Corp that has been in business for 5 years. We have achieved success and grown significantly since our founding, but I am now considering different exit strategies. I am seeking legal advice about which exit strategies would be best for my C Corp and how to properly implement them.

Michael S.

Answered Jun 13, 2023

There are a number of possible exit strategies, including a sale to a third party, a sale to an employee stock ownership plan, and a sale to an employee-owned cooperative corporation. Each of those approaches could be effected through a single transaction, or through multiple installments, or you could maintain some ownership of the business indefinitely. Each appraoch comes with certain relative advantages and disadvantages. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your options in greater detail.

Asset Purchase Agreement

Texas

Asked on Mar 30, 2021

What is the difference between an asset purchase agreement and business purchase agreement?

I am selling my e-commerce store and want to know which one of these I need.

Forest H.

Answered Mar 30, 2021

Just like the name suggests, an asset purchase agreement is just that – an agreement to purchase existing assets. This would be the appropriate document to use if you are buying or selling some or all of the assets of a business but not the business itself. For example, if you own a yard service company and you are interested in buying all of the mowers, trucks, and equipment of another yard service business. An asset purchase agreement would give a defined list of the equipment you are purchasing. If you were interested in buying the whole business, including existing contracts, assuming the debt, and retaining the other business’s employees and perhaps even their name, you would want a business purchase agreement.

Stock Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Jun 18, 2023

Stock purchase agreement and stock options?

I am a prospective buyer of a business and I am currently in the process of negotiating a Stock Purchase Agreement. As part of the agreement, I am interested in understanding what types of stock options may be available to me and what rights I may have as a shareholder. I am looking to understand the terms and conditions of the stock purchase agreement in relation to stock options before I move forward with the purchase.

It's impossible to answer your questions without actually seeing the documents and discussing them more in depth. I recommend that you post a job here, and hire someone to help you.

Business Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 19, 2023

What's an earn-out in a business purchase agreement?

I am looking to purchase a business and the seller has proposed an earn-out as part of the purchase agreement. I am unfamiliar with this type of agreement and need advice on how it works and what I need to consider before agreeing to it. I would like to understand what an earn-out entails and the potential risks and rewards associated with it.

James H.

Answered Nov 3, 2023

For informational purposes, NOT legal advice: In some service businesses, where there is not hard property asset value but the company is making money, an agreement called "earnout" allows the seller to continue working as part of the compensation. For example, a consulting company may have ongoing business that is dependent on the seller being involved, due to familiarity and personal loyalty. These agreements differ from seller financing in that the seller's employment is subject to continued business volume, therefore the buyer has some assurance that the seller (and their friends, co-workers, relatives,etc.) do NOT try to divert the existing customer revenue stream to a different business with similar services. Yes, some sellers cleverly attempt to sell their business and then set up a competitor in their kids, spouse or relative name to recapture the revenue and tiptoe over the non-compete seller clause In these situations the buyer may offer a Earnout to protect their interest and insure the revenue keeps coming in while the new owners learn the detalls and customer base. Other situations where "Earnout" may be preferable include business sales where the subject business is a subcontractor or heavily dependent on one or a small few number of clients, which makes the business revenue stream highly subject to rapid change. Buyers should be careful not to pay for a company AND then also do a "earnout" since that would be paying twice.

Stock Purchase Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Jun 20, 2023

When to use a stock purchase agreement?

I am a business owner looking to purchase a company and I am considering using a Stock Purchase Agreement to effectuate the transaction. I am uncertain when this type of agreement should be used and would like to understand the legal implications of using it. I am also interested in understanding any potential tax implications of using a Stock Purchase Agreement.

Thomas L.

Answered Jun 30, 2023

There are two ways to buy a company. 1. Asset purchase (you purchase the assets of the company directly) 2. Equity (stock) purchase. You purchase the equity of the company. Eauity purchases are far less expensive (legal fees). But in either case, you must hold back 10-20% of the purchase price in trust for a year to make sure the accounting records are in fact accurate, the receivables actually exist, and there are no undisclosed liabilities (tax, employee lawsuits, etc.)

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
