SHARE PURCHASE LAWYER

The acquisition of a business is a monumental undertaking for most individuals, as it represents a substantive commitment of finances and time. The stakes are exceedingly high, such that diligent investigation and critical analysis are essential at every stage of the process. As such, the appropriate professional support (legal, financial, tax/accounting) is imperative when looking to purchase a business and close the deal.

There are two primary methods for purchasing a business, acquire its corporate shares or purchase its underlying assets. Each method presents its own set of advantages and disadvantages, nevertheless, oftentimes the method of acquisition will already have been dictated by the business vendor/seller. This is particularly common with corporate share sales, as the seller is looking to relinquish the bad with the good (hence the preference to sell the corporate business in its entirety via a share sale).

What we strive to do is impart our legal knowledge and experience to your benefit when undertaking a corporate share acquisition. With such transactions having become increasingly driven by lawyers and the legal components of the deal, it is essential that you make the appropriate decision when selecting legal counsel, as it will heavily influence how your share purchase transaction is handled and completed.
