Counsel for business transactions where the economics and the documents have to work together.
Representation for owners, investors and privately held companies in acquisitions, dispositions, ownership transactions and other significant business matters.
Business transactions are rarely just about the purchase agreement.
The legal work has to reflect the economics of the deal and the realities of the business.
Van Williamson represents owners, investors and privately held companies in transactions involving the purchase, sale, investment in, restructuring of and governance of businesses and business interests.
Representation is designed around the transaction as a whole: what the client is buying or selling, how value is being allocated, who bears which risks, what happens if assumptions prove wrong, and how the deal will operate after closing.
Representative scope
- Business acquisitions and dispositions
- Asset and equity purchase agreements
- LLC and partnership ownership arrangements
- Investment and capital transactions
- Buyouts and negotiated owner exits
- Commercial agreements and strategic contracts
- Financing and restructuring transactions
- Governance, control and economic-rights arrangements
The objective is not simply to document the deal. It is to make sure the documents reflect the deal the client believes it is making.
