SorbaraLaw has extensive experience in the transfer of businesses, whether the transfer is effected by the sale of shares or the sale of assets.

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 between multi-national enterprises. Regardless of its size or complexity, we approach each transaction with the same degree of competence and professionalism to protect the interests of our stakeholder clients.

We have represented entrepreneurs, retailers, large private companies, publicly traded corporations and financial institutions in connection with their asset and share transactions and other acquisitions and divestitures. 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 are attuned to the concerns of off-shore investors. We have a keen appreciation of the tax implications of the sale and purchase transactions and ownership restructurings we oversee. In each transaction, we maintain a close working relationship with lenders, tax and financial advisors, agents, and business brokers, as the situation warrants.

Whether you are considering an outright sale of your business, the spin-off of a division, the acquisition of a new product line, or the reallocation of shares as part of your succession plan, SorbaraLaw has the lawyers to achieve your goals. Contact our corporate-commercial group to discuss the sale of your business or the acquisition of a target company.
