Our business transaction lawyers help businesses structure and close deals with confidence

Business loans provide essential capital for growth, operations, or restructuring, but the terms can carry significant legal and financial implications. Proper negotiation and documentation are key to protecting your interests. Our business transaction lawyers review, negotiate, and structure business loan agreements to ensure clarity, compliance, and long-term security.

Buyouts involve the purchase of a company’s ownership interest, often as part of an exit strategy, succession plan, or strategic acquisition. These transactions require careful structuring to address valuation, financing, and transition issues. Our business transaction lawyers help clients navigate buyouts with precision, ensuring a smooth transfer of ownership and protection of long-term interests.

Commercial real estate transactions involve the purchase, sale, leasing, or development of property for business use and often require careful attention to zoning, financing, and title issues. These deals can be complex and high-stakes. Our business transaction lawyers guide clients through every stage of commercial real estate transactions to ensure their investments are secure and strategically sound.

Due diligence is a critical process in evaluating the risks and value of a potential business deal, whether it’s an acquisition, investment, or joint venture. It involves reviewing financials, contracts, liabilities, and compliance issues to uncover any red flags. Our business transaction lawyers conduct thorough due diligence to help clients make informed decisions and negotiate from a position of strength.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) involve the consolidation or transfer of business ownership and assets, often as part of a growth strategy or market expansion. These transactions are complex and can carry significant legal, financial, and operational implications. Our business transaction lawyers guide clients through every stage of the M&A process—from structuring and due diligence to negotiation and closing—to ensure a successful and strategic outcome.

Private equity transactions involve investments in businesses through the purchase of equity, often to support growth, restructuring, or strategic initiatives. These deals require careful negotiation of terms, governance rights, and exit strategies. Our business transaction lawyers represent investors and companies in private equity deals, ensuring each transaction is structured to align with long-term goals and protect stakeholder interests.
