FAQ

What is a Business Transaction?

A business transaction can be broadly described as any event that occurs between a business and another party. As a fundamental part of operations, business transactions allow a company to conduct regular business activities. Most transactions involve formal business contracts. The contract details the agreement which can involve two or more parties. After the parties finalize and sign the contract, the contract becomes enforceable. All parties must fulfill the terms and obligations of the contract. Business transactions can involve the selling or purchasing of goods and services, drafting employment agreements, establishing a new business opportunity, and many other situations.


How Can a Business Transaction be Conducted Smoothly?

Business owners and corporate managers require business transactions to be executed in an efficient and effective manner. These smooth business transactions do not contain hidden surprises, veiled costs, or unnecessary hassles or time delays. The terms are clearly identified and each party understands the processes and procedures involved when the contract is finalized. It is critical to work with an experienced business transaction attorney who can structure the deal properly and negotiate on your behalf. An experienced business transaction lawyer can analyze financial records and other documentation to evaluate the situation and possibly consider potential alternatives. By involving a legal professional, you are maximizing the success of the business transaction and ensuring your concerns are addressed.


What should be Considered before Purchasing a Business?

Purchasing a business is one of the largest financial transactions that people make. Buying a business can be stressful, and there are many items to consider before making the decision. However, owning a business is much more than a financial commitment. Depending on the nature of the business, it may be time consuming and involve other aspects of a person’s life. Will the buyer or family members be employed at the business, or is it an investment opportunity? What type of loans will be needed to make the purchase? What type of leases and permits are necessary for this type of business? A potential buyer should examine the personal responsibilities in addition to financial obligations attached to a business venture before making a commitment. A skilled business attorney can help you evaluate your unique situation and assist with negotiating favorable terms when purchasing a new business venture.


Why Does a Company Reorganize or Restructure?

There are many reasons why a business would restructure and reorganize. Management may be looking to address issues that have surfaced during regular operations. The company may be preparing for a sale. Reorganization may be required as the corporation emerges from bankruptcy. Or, after purchasing another business, the corporation may be merging operations to become an entirely new company. Similarly, a business may restructure by combining departments or establishing a new business with one or more of its departments.


In many situations, the reorganization and restructuring process is initiated for financial reasons. Corporate restructuring can have a positive impact on the company’s assets and liabilities. After a merger or acquisition, a business can reduce costs by streamlining activities and save money by merging departments with overlapping duties.


Can Employers Reduce Risk in Employee-Related Matters?

It can be challenging for corporate employers and business owners to juggle the operations of the company with the complexities of managing personnel issues. Employment law practices are continuously changing as cases are decided in the courts and as lawmakers establish new rules for the workplace. Understanding legal obligations is critical for every employer so as to minimize the potential for liability in employee-related issues. An experienced business transaction lawyer can evaluate your company, identify areas of concern, and implement systems designed to address employee-related concerns.


Employment matters that are not handled effectively may leave the company vulnerable to costly litigation. It’s possible that reviewing and revising employee handbooks, independent contractor agreements, and compensation and benefits packages may help a business remain in compliance with employment laws while also reducing the risk of liability.


How Can Business Owners Protect Their Interests?

Business owners often encounter situations that require prompt attention. Careful consideration is needed to avoid mistakes when making decisions. Potential missteps may be costly and lead to litigation. Consulting an experienced business transaction lawyer can protect the company and the business owner from corporate or personal liability. Business Attorney Thomas S. Carter skillfully handles the transactional needs of a business by evaluating the situation, protecting the business from unnecessary risks, and minimizing future liability for the client.


A business transaction attorney can draft, review, and negotiate contractual agreements which affect every part of a business. As your legal advocate, a lawyer can offer skilled guidance on legal strategies which can help position your business enterprise for success. In this way, you and your business management can stay focused on daily operations while knowing a legal professional is keeping an eye on helping attain your long-range goals.
