Legal counsel for business acquisitions, sales, mergers, and ownership transitions in New York City and surrounding areas.
A business transaction can shape a company’s operations and financial obligations for years to come. Kahn Yuniver Law represents business owners, entrepreneurs, companies, and investors in mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, providing guidance from preliminary discussions through closing and transition.
Our attorneys work closely with clients to understand the purpose of the transaction, identify legal concerns, and negotiate terms that reflect their priorities. Whether a client is acquiring an established business, selling an ownership interest, or combining operations with another company, we consider how the agreement will function both at closing and afterward.
We advise buyers and sellers on asset purchases, stock purchases, and LLC membership interest transfers. Our work begins with the proposed deal structure and extends to the allocation of assets, assumed liabilities, payment obligations, and conditions for completing the transaction. We assist with:
Mergers and Corporate Restructuring
We guide businesses through mergers, consolidations, and reorganizations, addressing the legal steps needed to implement the proposed structure. This includes reviewing organizational documents, ownership rights, governance arrangements, and required approvals. We also assess whether existing contracts, leases, or other commitments require consent or further documentation before the transaction can proceed.
Due Diligence and Risk Assessment
Our due diligence review helps clients understand what they are acquiring or transferring and which issues require attention before closing. Depending on the transaction, we examine corporate records, material contracts, employment and independent contractor arrangements, intellectual property rights, pending disputes, and regulatory obligations. We translate those findings into practical recommendations, including additional disclosures, revised terms, or matters to resolve as a condition of closing.
Transaction Agreements and Negotiations
We draft and negotiate agreements with particular attention to representations and warranties, indemnification, limitations on liability, and the parties’ obligations if the transaction does not close. We address how identified risks will be allocated and how obligations will be enforced, while keeping negotiations focused on the client’s commercial objectives.
Buyouts and Business Succession
Ownership changes may involve a sale to a third party, a buyout among existing owners, or a planned transition to new management. We prepare and negotiate buy-sell agreements, ownership transfer documents, and transition arrangements that address payment, decision-making authority, and the departing owner’s continuing responsibilities. Our approach considers existing shareholder or operating agreements and the business’s ability to continue operating during the transition.
Closing and Post Closing Coordination
We coordinate the legal documents, approvals, and deliverables needed to complete the transaction, working with the client’s other advisers as appropriate. We also help document post-closing arrangements, including transition services, consulting relationships, and continuing contractual obligations, so the parties understand what remains to be done after ownership changes.
