Lawrence & Jurkiewicz, LLC are business attorneys in Avon and Torrington, Connecticut who will assist you in selling or buying a business. Lawrence & Jurkiewicz, LLC will represent you, as needed, in negotiating and structuring the transaction from the letter of intent stage through contract. This includes negotiating value (which both parties must report to the IRS), seller financing, and identifying particular assets which are subject to the sale. Generally, in a sale of stock, the buyer acquires the company’s liabilities (for example, tax debt) as well as its assets (for example, unexpired leases, equipment, goodwill). In an asset sale, the buyer acquires only the assets. How the sale is structured is subject to negotiation.

If you are the buyer, Lawrence & Jurkiewicz, LLC's business attorneys can assist you in selecting the organizational form of the purchasing entity, and will organize the entity under applicable law.
