The Gilliford Law Firm Chtd.
Kansas Merger & Acquisitions Lawyers
It is not uncommon at some point in the life of a business for that business to be acquired by a new owner. A variety of motivations can exist for transferring the ownership of a business, such as retirement, a desire to "cash out", a desire to diversity, or an opportunity to combine the prospects of a business with another.
The Key is Planning
Mergers and acquisitions require extensive planning and preparation. If you plan on purchasing or selling a business, consulting with our business law attorneys could save you time and money. At The Gilliford Law Firm, Chtd., we work closely with tax experts and accountants in determining the financial and tax implications of a merger and/or acquisition. Our legal representation extends from assisting you in locating a professional to help in the due diligence process, through determination of the purchase price and terms, negotiation of Employment and Non-Compete Agreements, structuring and negotiating the actual Purchase Agreement, warranties and indemnification terms, and analyzing tax law considerations.
Avoiding Costly Pitfalls in the Process
When drafting or reviewing purchase or sales agreements, we identify potential liabilities and alert you to vulnerabilities that could threaten your financial health. Preventative in nature, our approach ensures legal protection for our clients by maintaining clear lines of responsibility and means for legal redress in the event of malfeasance on the part of the other party.
