Deal or no deal?

When a business changes hands, a central question arises: should the deal involve selling assets or the entity itself? The “better” choice may look different to the buyer than it does to the seller. Whether you’re representing a young entrepreneur or a well-established company, buying or selling a business comes with high stakes, and clients rely on counsel to anticipate challenges, negotiate strategically, and safeguard their financial interests.
