FAQ

What is an acquisition under Florida business law?

An acquisition is when one company (the acquirer) purchases another company (the target), often involving the transfer of ownership and control of the target's assets and liabilities to the acquirer.

What is the typical timeline for a business acquisition or sale?

The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, the responsiveness of the parties involved, and any unforeseen issues that may arise. Generally, the process can take several months to complete, from initial negotiations to closing. We will discuss your specific timeframe and meet your needs.

What are some common deal structures for business acquisitions?

What are some red flags to watch out for during due diligence?

Red flags may include undisclosed liabilities, inconsistent financial records, pending litigation, environmental concerns, or issues with intellectual property ownership. A thorough due diligence process is crucial for identifying potential risks before finalizing the transaction.

What role do escrow agents play in business transactions?

What happens if disputes arise during the acquisition or sale process?

Our team is skilled in resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. We will advocate for your best interests and work toward a favorable resolution.
