Kansas City Area Business Attorney Charlie Hyland: Buying or Selling a Business

Whether you are buying or selling a business, it is important to pin down not only what you have agreed to exchange but also the details of the transaction. Is the title to the assets clear? Who is financing any interest? Have the taxes been paid? Has there been adequate disclosure? Will earnest money be required? The answers to these questions can be the difference from a highly profitable acquisition and one that brings only limited returns.

At the Overland Park law offices of the Hyland Law Firm, LLC, we advise businesses and corporations throughout the Kansas City metro area as they reach final agreement on acquisitions, divestitures, reorganizations, and asset sales, helping them be certain what to expect from their transactions.

Once an offer has been made for the purchase or sale and all sides have agreed to a price, it is time to focus on the details of the transaction and on making them enforceable in the contract. Whether you are the buyer or the seller, we can help you develop a contract with terms favorable to your position and protect you from unforeseen problems or terms that can cut into your profit margin.

Representing the Buyer

When you are buying a company, you need to make certain you are securing rights to all of the assets you are expecting-and ensure that there are no surprise debts. If the purchase is delayed or the deal has gone bad, attorney Charlie Hyland can advise you on possible remedies and strategies for moving forward.

Representing the Seller

When selling your entire business or part of your company, your primary concern is making sure you get paid what it is worth-as soon as possible. Even after the sale price has been determined, it is important to negotiate favorable terms of payment, such as requiring a hard, non-refundable earnest deposit in escrow. We know how to develop contracts that maximize the amount of money due up front while protecting the sale itself. We can also offer referrals to important related services, such as asset valuation professionals and tax advisors.

We represent both buyers and sellers involved in disputes over the purchase and sale of companies of business assets. Attorney Charlie Hyland is an experienced negotiator and trial lawyer who will protect your company's long-term interests and your bottom line.
