Business Acquisition Lawyer
Welcome to Roger Doumanian, Attorney at Law, APC, where we provide reliable legal guidance to entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors involved in the buying and selling of businesses. Whether you are acquiring a new company or preparing to transition out of ownership, our role is to ensure that the legal aspects of your transaction are handled with precision, clarity, and strategic foresight.
Buying a Business?
Let us help you mitigate risks and avoid unintended consequences by helping you properly structure the purchase transaction and legally document all aspects of the acquisition.
Selling a Business?
Plan. Negotiate. Document.
Buying or selling a business is a major decision that requires careful planning, negotiation, and documentation. A well-structured acquisition or sale can protect your interests, minimize risks, and ensure a smooth transition of ownership. We are here to guide you through the entire process, from the initial letter of intent to the final closing documents.
Our focus is on the legal framework, ensuring that contracts, agreements, and compliance matters are thoroughly addressed to protect you from liability and legal complications.
Asset Purchase
Stock Purchase
Acquisition of seller’s stock ownership, buying the entire company, including assets, liabilities, and obligations. This approach ensures business continuity but comes with greater liability risks.
Legal Services for Business Buyers and Sellers
We offer a full range of legal services to individuals and companies involved in business acquisitions. Our role is to ensure that your transaction is legally sound, properly structured, and aligned with your business goals.
The purchase agreement is the foundation of any business sale. This legally binding contract outlines the terms and conditions of the transaction, including price, payment structure, assets included in the sale, contingencies, and representations made by both parties.
- Drafting a comprehensive purchase agreement that protects your interests
- Negotiating key terms with the other party to achieve a fair and favorable deal
- Ensuring all necessary provisions are included to minimize risks and liabilities
- Addressing indemnification clauses, non-compete agreements, and warranties
Contract Review and Drafting
A business acquisition involves multiple contracts that must be carefully reviewed and negotiated. Whether you are purchasing the assets of a business or taking over an entire company, we will ensure that all agreements are clear, enforceable, and legally sound.
- Reviewing existing contracts related to the business, such as leases, vendor agreements, and supplier contracts
- Drafting and negotiating agreements to ensure they align with your objectives
- Ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations
- Identifying potential legal pitfalls and suggesting modifications to protect your rights
When buying or selling a business, selecting the right entity structure can have significant legal and financial implications. We help clients determine the best structure for their transaction, whether it involves an LLC, corporation, or another business entity.
- Advising on whether to structure the transaction as an asset sale or a stock sale or purchase
- Assisting with business entity formation if a new entity is required for the transaction
- Addressing liability concerns and tax implications in collaboration with financial experts
- Ensuring that ownership transfers are legally binding and properly recorded
Negotiations of Transaction Terms
Sometimes, buyers and sellers don’t see eye to eye during the negotiation process. Our role is to help resolve disagreements effectively while protecting your interests and keeping the transaction on track.
- Acting as your legal advocate during negotiations
- Resolving conflicts between buyers and sellers through clear communication
- Ensuring that negotiated terms are clearly documented in the final agreement
- Providing strategic advice to achieve the best possible outcome
