Buying or selling a business is a complex undertaking that poses risks for even the most seasoned businessperson. Such transactions require a thorough understanding of many different fields of business law, including contracts, corporate governance, employment, financing, franchising, real estate, securities, and taxes.  Buying or selling a business without the guidance of an expert business lawyer can lead to unanticipated liabilities and negative tax consequences.
