Common Issues a Lawyer Can Help Clients Avoid

Many business disputes arise because risks were not addressed before closing. Common problem areas include:

  • Unclear allocation of liabilities

  • Inadequate representations and warranties

  • Missing non-compete or non-solicitation protections

  • Ambiguities around leases, licenses, or contracts

  • Assumptions about what is “included” in the sale

Addressing these issues early is far less costly than litigating them later.

My Approach

  • Transaction-focused: I aim to support the deal, not derail it.

  • Clear and practical: Clients understand their risks and options.

  • Detail-oriented: Small omissions can have large consequences.

  • Collaborative: I work with brokers, CPAs, and other advisors—not against them.

I do not guarantee outcomes. I help clients make informed decisions and document them properly.

Business Closings

Buying or selling a business is not just a contract, it is potentially a risk transfer.

I represent Florida business buyers and sellers in asset purchases, stock purchases, and membership interest transfers, with a focus on protecting clients through clear documentation, strategic negotiation, and efficient closings.

Who this is for:

  • Buyers acquiring an existing Florida business

  • Sellers preparing to exit a closely held company

  • Business owners purchasing competitors or complementary businesses

  • Entrepreneurs buying franchises or owner-operated businesses

  • Parties already under contract or LOI who need legal counsel to complete the transaction

If you are relying solely on templates, informal agreements, or verbal understandings, legal involvement becomes critical before closing.

What I Do in a Business Closing

My role is to identify, allocate, and reduce legal risk while keeping the transaction moving forward.

Typical representation includes:

  • Reviewing and negotiating letters of intent (LOIs)

  • Structuring asset purchases

  • Drafting and negotiating purchase agreements

  • Identifying deal risks and compliance issues

  • Coordinating with CPAs, business brokers, and lenders

  • Preparing closing documents and overseeing closing

  • Advising on post-closing obligations and transitions

I work collaboratively with other professionals involved in the transaction to avoid unnecessary delays or surprises.
