Lawyers' services for buying and selling a business. Purchase and sale of a part (share) of a business. Ready-made business. Small, medium and large.
At some point, each of us needs legal services. And we want the lawyers to be sensible, to know their job, to have the right experience and knowledge, to be a model of client focus and, at the same time, affordable. As a rule, cheap services are believed to be inherently poor, while expensive ones may be top-class but are not always necessary for every matter. So a middle option works best: not too cheap, but not expensive either.
How to choose a lawyer other than by price is not obvious. So the "ask your acquaintances" option (word of mouth) works — see who worked with whom before, and who is nearby. Then look at experience, knowledge and track record. Then consider recommendations from other clients, publications in specialist media, conference appearances and the presence of a team of lawyers.
Anything else? It seems we haven't forgotten anything.
If part or all of the above matches your idea of searching for a lawyer and choosing legal services related to buying and selling a business, then you should come to us.
The above matches the characteristics of our law firm "Vetrov & Partners" — from knowledge, experience and competent specialists to mid-range prices and the client focus of each employee.

Typical risks in business purchase-and-sale transactions:
1) insufficient understanding of the industry or the company's field of activity;
2) the presence of hidden costs;
3) vulnerability of the client base;
4) unverified or hard-to-verify data on business metrics (revenue, profit, cost);
5) ignorance of the true reasons for selling or buying the business;
6) incomplete transfer of the subject of the agreements;
7) incorrect structuring of the transaction.
But one of the most common mistakes is incorrect business valuation. It is important to bear in mind that the buyer acquires not only a legal entity with a set of documents, but also the property associated with the business and the business as a whole.
Legal services for the purchase and sale of a business:
a) verification of the accuracy of information on the company's metrics (profit, cost, etc.);
b) identification of legal and tax risks related to the seller's activity and to the transaction itself;
c) preparation of the documentation required for the transaction;
d) development and implementation of recommendations for amending the transaction;
e) analysis of the seller and their documentation, to confirm the existence of their business, assets and liabilities;
f) assessment of the transaction structure and terms for compliance with the buyer's goals and protection of their interests;
g) participation in negotiations and support of the negotiation process;
h) support of the conclusion and performance of the transaction.
We also recommend reviewing the following materials:
1) how to survive a tax audit;
2) cash-out schemes: tax and criminal-law risks;
3) business structuring as a tax-security tool;
4) a case challenging an interested-party transaction;
5) at least 100 more materials in the "Articles" section;
