Business Transactions
Many day-to-day business agreements can be brokered internally, however when it comes time for closely held or family businesses to memorialize key agreements, including vendor agreements, purchase and sale agreements, joint ventures, terms of service, or address other important business matters, a business lawyer should be involved. Our firm specializes in representing closely held businesses and family businesses in all of their transactions. Consulting with NM LAW, APC prior to formalizing internal or external contracts can provide clarity and avoid conflict. Our firm ensures its clients transactions are conducted to minimize future liability exposure, avoid conflict with key partners and customers as well as provide overall efficiency in the operations of the business. We routinely handle the following transactions on behalf of our business clients.
- Any former, current, or prospective employee claims of discrimination in hiring, firing, or hostile work environment
- Local, state, or federal government entities filing complaints or investigating your business for violation of any laws
- When setting up or changing an internal business governance structure particularly when you have an outside manager
- You are negotiating for the sale of your company or for the acquisition of another company or its assets
Our firm focuses exclusively on transactions for non-publicly traded, privately held companies. We counsel our clients prior to, during and after transactions such as assets sales, mergers, forging partnerships, product sales and distribution, manufacturing, and real estate development, as well as many other areas of business. While we represent dozens of recognizable players and profitable businesses in the Southern California area, our family-owned businesses value discretion. We never advertise our client list.
Our firm’s value is bringing years of expertise representing these companies and negotiating terms that address risk allocation, definitions of roles, damages and performance so all involved players have a positive outcome and clarity on their role.
At NM LAW we offer our services as your outside general counsel which means you receive our business representation without the overhead cost of having an attorney on permanent staff. We represent business entities, shareholders, and directors in all transactions, including acquisitions, vendor contracts, buy-sell agreements, third-party business agreements and pre-litigation disputes. Although our attorneys have extensive experience with litigation this firm focuses solely on business transactions. We understand and appreciate the importance of steering clear of litigation whenever possible in order to avoid the negative impacts on a going entity. This is why we use our experience and expertise to represent your business to the highest quality and avoid having to go into any litigation.
