A seller's process

Prepare the business before the market sets the terms.

Preparation gives an owner a clearer view of value, risk and the terms that matter. Counsel should help the seller respond to diligence, evaluate competing structures and negotiate the documents without losing sight of the company’s people and ongoing operations.

01

Prepare the sale

Organize ownership, governance, contracts, employment matters and the operational story before a buyer’s diligence process begins.

02

Diligence readiness

Identify gaps, assemble a controlled response process and prepare the business to answer questions without losing momentum or leverage.

03

Negotiation

Review and negotiate the LOI and purchase agreement, including price mechanics, earn-outs, rollover equity, representations and indemnification.

04

Closing and transition

Coordinate closing documentation and address post-closing transition, retained obligations, continuing relationships and the next chapter for the seller.
