What We Do
Services
Business Acquisitions
We represent buyers in the acquisition of privately held businesses — from initial review of a letter of intent through due diligence, purchase agreement negotiation and closing. Our role is to help you understand what you are really buying: identifying risk early, negotiating terms that protect your investment, and keeping the process on track to close.

Business Sales
We represent business owners and shareholders selling their companies. Most sellers do not lose a deal at the offer stage — value is won or lost in the definitive documents that follow. We review offers to clarify what they actually mean, negotiate terms that reduce post-closing risk, and work directly with buyer's counsel to protect what you have built.

Cross-Border M&A & Investments
We advise international investors — particularly from Brazil and Latin America — on the acquisition of, or investment in, privately held U.S. businesses. This includes structuring the transaction, coordinating U.S. tax and regulatory considerations with your local advisors, and negotiating documentation in a process that can run in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
