Cleburne Mergers & Acquisitions Lawyer

Dedicated Assistance To Pursue Your Business Goals

When two businesses decide to merge, there are a number of important issues that need to be addressed in order to ensure the transaction is completed smoothly and efficiently. Determining the correct structure for the new business can be crucial, and owners need to determine how to make the best use of existing employees, decide whether layoffs or other personnel changes will be necessary, ensure that relationships with clients and vendors are maintained, and take the correct steps to position the company for ongoing success. A business law attorney with real-life business experience can help identify and navigate these issues, ensuring that the merger can be completed successfully.

In our business and commercial law practice, the attorneys of Cain & Kiel Law believe that the best way to help a client achieve his or her business goals is to first listen. When we meet with our clients, we ask:

• Where has your business come over the years?
• What are your plans for the future of your business?
• What are the legal rights that you are most concerned about protecting?

The answers to these and other important questions can play an indispensable role in any business-related legal transaction. They are especially important when it comes to mergers, acquisitions, and other transitions of business leadership. You want to ensure that your business will make it through this time of important change. Our firm can help along the way.

Your Legal Ally During a Time of Change

Some of the key issues that need to be considered in a merger or acquisition include:

• Due diligence - It is important to fully investigate a potential merger or acquisition target and learn as much as possible about the company a business is considering acquiring or merging with. This can help avoid any nasty surprises down the road.
• Contracts and agreements - Once a business has decided to move forward with a merger or acquisition, it will be necessary to draw up a variety of contractual agreements. These documents will need to be carefully crafted in order to protect the interests of all parties involved.
• Regulatory compliance - Depending on the industry, there may be a number of regulatory agencies that will need to sign off on a merger or acquisition. It is important to ensure that all applicable regulations are being followed in order to avoid any potential problems.
• Intellectual property - In many merger and acquisition situations, the value of the company being acquired often lies primarily in its intellectual property or reputation. It is important to take steps to protect these valuable assets.
• Tax issues - There are a number of tax concerns that need to be taken into account when completing a merger or acquisition. A qualified business law attorney can help ensure that all applicable taxes are paid and that the transaction is structured in the most tax-efficient manner possible.
• Risk mitigation - Any merger or acquisition carries with it a certain amount of risk. It is important to identify potential risks, including those related to documentation of business procedures, relationships with existing clients, or preservation of institutional knowledge, and take steps to ensure that these issues will be addressed correctly.
