I am a business, transactions, contracts attorney. I was the sole in-house attorney for a good-sized staffing company. I can review and create nearly any type of document you need. I enjoy writing, reading, and editing contracts. I want to read your contract. If I cannot do it, I won't take the job and I won't charge you for what I cannot do.

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 Oct 4, 2022

How does an asset purchase agreement work with debt?

I am buying a business and want to use an asset purchase agreement based on what I've read, but I believe the company has debt. How does this work? Will I also be buying the debt? Any help is appreciated

John S.

Answered Oct 28, 2022

It depends. If you want to use an asset purchase agreement to purchase just the assets of the company instead of the entire company, then an asset purchase agreement is the way to go as you could avoid taking on the company's existing debts. However, if you plan to buy the business as a whole I would expect you will inherit the debts as well unless you draft a release from the former owners.

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.

Escrow Account Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Mar 20, 2025

What are the key provisions that should be included in an Escrow Agreement?

I am in the process of finalizing a business deal where I will be placing a substantial amount of money into an escrow account. I want to ensure that my interests are protected and that all parties involved are clear on the terms and conditions. I would like to know what are the essential provisions that should be included in an Escrow Agreement to safeguard my investment and mitigate potential risks.

Jerome L.

Answered Apr 15, 2025

Great question—and smart move getting ahead of this. When you're placing a substantial amount of money into escrow, the agreement becomes critical to protect your investment and ensure all parties are aligned on how the funds will be handled. Here are the key provisions that should be included in a well-drafted Escrow Agreement: Parties to the Agreement Clearly identify the buyer, seller (or contracting parties), and the escrow agent, including their contact details and roles. Purpose of the Escrow Define why the funds are being held—whether it’s for a business acquisition, service milestone, asset transfer, etc. Escrowed Funds or Assets Specify the amount or nature of what is being held in escrow, including how it should be handled (e.g., deposited into an interest-bearing account). Conditions for Release Detail exactly when and how the escrow agent is authorized to release the funds—e.g., upon delivery of services, closing of a deal, receipt of signed documents, etc. Instructions & Disbursement Process Outline how release instructions are communicated, who must approve them, and what form they should take (e.g., written, signed by both parties). Duties & Liabilities of the Escrow Agent Define the escrow agent’s responsibilities, their standard of care, and a liability limitation clause to avoid disputes over unintentional delays or errors. Fees & Expenses Clarify who pays the escrow fees and how those fees will be structured—fixed, hourly, or percentage-based. Dispute Resolution Clause Include a provision on how disputes will be handled if there’s a disagreement about release conditions (e.g., mediation, arbitration, or court jurisdiction). Termination & Expiration Explain when the agreement ends—whether upon release of funds, mutual agreement, or lapse of a set time period—and what happens to the funds if unresolved. Governing Law Identify which state's laws will apply to the agreement, particularly if parties are in different jurisdictions. If you'd like, I can help draft or review your escrow agreement to ensure these provisions are solid and customized to your deal. Happy to help you safeguard your investment and give you peace of mind at every stage.
