Mergers and Acquisitions

Buying, selling, or merging a business, from letter of intent to closing.

What This Covers

The goal of the practice is to work with a company from the day it starts to the day it is sold, and this is the day it is sold. Letter of intent, diligence, the purchase agreement, and the closing itself, on either side of the table.

Because Aaron knows how the client’s business runs, the documents match the deal instead of the other way around.

How the Work Starts

It starts with a first meeting. You describe your work and the goals you have, and Aaron describes how he may be able to help. Then he tells you whether he is the right fit for the job, and you decide if you would like to move forward.

If it is a fit and you want to move forward, an engagement letter sets out how you will work together: the scope of the legal services and how it is billed, flat fee, retainer, or hourly, whichever fits the work.

What Shapes the Scope

Deal structure, diligence scope, and timeline to close.
