My Legal career has focused on representing businesses (corporations and limited liability companies) as general outside counsel. In this capacity, I have drafted a broad range of legal documents as well as analyzed proposed agreements drafted by the other party's attorney to the agreement for the purpose of determining the risks to which my client would be exposed. I maintained the client's minute book if no one in-house was available for that task. Additionally, if requested, I served as a general advisor to the client's executive offers and to its Board of Directors.

Acquisitions Legal Questions and Answers

What documents are needed for a business acquisition?
I am going to be involved in a transaction later this year and want to be prepared with the correct legal documents.
Donya G.
There are numerous documents need to acquire a business - some are Asset Purchase Agreement, Bill of Sale, Assignment and Assumption. DISCLAIMER The answers to these questions do not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with the attorney and anyone who reviews these responses.

Asset Purchase Agreement
Texas
Should asset purchase agreement be notarized?
Do we need to notarize an APA? I have tried to do research online and cannot find anything. I am trying to budget for a new acquisition and want to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row. Are there any other documents I will need?
Michael S.
First, I highly recommend you get legal representation in connection with your purchase agreement. Second, I'm not a Texas lawyer, but generally an asset purchase agreement will not need to be notarized.

Stock Purchase Agreement
Connecticut
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.
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.)

Escrow Account Agreement
Georgia
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.
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.

Stock Purchase Agreement
California
Stock purchase agreement and survival period?
I am a small business owner looking to purchase a stock from another business. I am in the process of reviewing the Stock Purchase Agreement and have a question regarding the survival period. I need to understand the meaning of the survival period and how long it lasts, as it is an important factor when making the decision to purchase the stock.
Thaddeus W.
Good question! Though, more information would be needed. This seems like something you would want to submit a formal request for bids on. This is square within my practice area, so I'd love to consider assisting you. ~Thaddeus Wojcik, Wojcik Law Firm, PC
