Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions
When should I involve an attorney in a business or real estate transaction?
It is often helpful to seek counsel before signing a letter of intent, purchase agreement, lease, operating agreement, or other document that creates significant obligations. Early guidance can help identify risks, clarify terms, and support informed decisions.
What should I consider before buying or selling a business?
Key considerations may include the transaction structure, due diligence, contracts, liabilities, financing, ownership interests, and the documents needed for closing. The right approach depends on the business and the goals of the parties involved.
How can an ownership structure affect real estate investments?
The entity and ownership structure can affect management, liability, financing, tax considerations, and how interests are transferred. Legal counsel can help align the structure with the investment’s goals and the parties’ responsibilities.
