My experience has been that every successful business owner has a strong team of advisors to help them run their business. I am part of this team for many successful companies. My role is to work with the owners and other executives of these companies to help them address various legal issues involved in their day-to-day operations. I have substantial experieince representing companies in the process of raising capital to fund their business operations as well as with their merger and acquisition activities.Specialties: In addition to my general mergers and acquistions practice, I have expertise in representing owners of closely-held companies who sell the stock of their company to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). By selling to an ESOP, the owner of the business can accomplish their goal of transitioning ownership of their business to generate personal liquidity in a manner which will reward key employees with equity ownership of the business and protect the legacy of the business post-transaction.
