Entering or Exiting a Business with Your Eyes Open

Our firm boasts a wealth of legal experience in helping clients navigate business sales and acquisitions. We provide comprehensive guidance tailored to your specific objectives even for businesses in highly regulated industries. We make it a point to make sure the client understands what it is they are agreeing to – it is easy to get lost in the legalese of a contract, and we simplify it for clients so that they can make informed and thoughtful decisions.

Simplifying the Complexity of Buying or Selling a Business

Buying or selling a business is a significant step. Relevant purchase or sale agreements, however, are not always clear. Before signing any such agreement, it is important to understand what it is you’re signing. We pride ourselves in guiding clients using plain English.

Testimonial

Elliot Ginsburg has been representing my edibles business in Minnesota since it became legal to sell low-dose hemp edibles. He’s been wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend him to other cannabis businesses. He is quick to respond and will email cannabis law updates that he finds are pertinent to my business.
