Buy-Sell Agreements

An important and fundamental document for most privately owned businesses is a thoughtful and comprehensive buy-sell agreement.  In addition to the “typical” drafting, our attorneys address all aspects of the agreement to meet the particular needs of the Firm’s clients, including the provisions dealing with transfer events, valuation, and payment terms.  The carefully prepared buy-sell agreement can save business owners substantial money by providing clear and orderly steps to be taken following certain triggering events.  Recently, our attorneys drafted a complicated buy-sell agreement that was coordinated fully with all of the owners’ estate plans and which provides a succession plan to the next generation.
