CRAIN LAW FIRM helps the business owner through the complexities of a business transition. We have broad experience in a variety of business transactions:

• Mergers & acquisitions
• Business sales
• Tax free reorganizations
• Incorporations
• LLC formations
• Dissolutions
• Shareholder agreements
• LLC agreements

We anticipate the problems other firms might miss. For example, the two principals in one client business were forced to bring along a minority shareholder in a tax free reorganization. We designed the shareholder agreement that allowed the client to take out that minority interest at a discount.

On another occasion, a purchaser sought to change its proposal for the acquisition of a client’s business. We successfully negotiated a $1 million increase in the sale price to recover the tax effects of the change.
