Asset and Share Transactions:                   

     Sorbara, Schumacher, McCann LLP has extensive experience in the transfer of businesses, whether the transfer is effected by the sale of shares, the sale of assets, or a corporate reorganization.  Our corporate and commercial lawyers have handled all types of acquisitions and divestitures, from the sale of assets by the small retailer to the complex reallocation of proprietary interests as between multi-national enterprises.  We approach each situation with the same degree of competence and professionalism, having regard for the size and complexity of the transaction and the nature of the stakeholders.  We represent entrepreneurs, retailers, large private companies, publicly-traded corporations and financial institutions in connection with their asset and share transactions, amalgamations and other merger and corporate reorganizations.  We have concluded transactions with and on behalf of trustees in bankruptcy and receiver-managers.  We have overseen the completion of transactions involving a diverse array of business interests, including retail, manufacturing, real estate, construction, personal services, financial services, technology and intellectual property.  We have participated in many cross-border transactions and have become attuned to the concerns of off-shore investors.  We have a particular affinity for tax-structured reorganizations.  We work closely with your tax advisors and have a keen appreciation of the tax implications of the sale and purchase transactions and restructurings we oversee.  Tax considerations significantly impact each and every transaction we are asked to implement, regardless of the size or complexity of the transaction.  Whether you are considering an outright sale of your business, the spinoff of a division, the acquisition of a new product line, or the reallocation of shares as part of your succession plan, Sorbara, Schumacher, McCann LLP has the lawyers to accomplish your objectives in a competent, timely and cost-effective manner.
