Asset Purchase Agreements
Industry Leading Houston Business Lawyers Serving Texas & the Nation
713-783-3110
In any high-value business transaction structured as a sale of assets and liabilities in lieu of stock, asset purchase agreements are critical. While asset purchases offer flexibility to selectively acquire certain assets, and potentially avoid liabilities buyers don’t want, they also create exposure to potential risks and demand preparation and time. In order to protect your interests when entering into any significant business deal, counsel from proven business lawyers equipped experience, resources, and financial expertise can set the stage for future success.
At Hendershot Cowart, P.C., our Texas business lawyers leverage over 100 years of collective experience to provide comprehensive counsel in business transactions, including the purchase and sale of a company’s assets from proposals to closing. Whether you need to form a business, restructure your company, acquire new assets, or establish various contractual agreements to safeguard your interests, you can be confident about working with our industry leading legal team.
Transactions & Agreements Tailored to Your Business Goals
In any acquisition, merger, or major asset purchase / sale, your contractual agreements need to clearly define who is responsible in each area and exactly when and how the responsibility shifts from the seller to the buyer.
This begins with due diligence investigations, which gather and analyze:
- Organization and strategic position
- Financial data, balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and taxes
- Operational assets, physical assets, real estate, and liabilities
- Employer and employer agreements (NDAs, non-competes, etc.)
- Licenses, permits, intellectual property, indemnification, and insurance coverage
We address all important elements of asset purchase agreements and other legal measures, including:
- Parties, purchase price, payment method, and closing date
- Terms, conditions, approvals, and inspection period
- Representations and warranties by seller and buyer
- Confidentiality, non-competition, and protection of IP and trade secrets
- Remedies in the even either party defaults
Our Houston-based business lawyers provide full service counsel to startups, entrepreneurs, partnerships, owners of closely held businesses, corporations, and other business entities and professional practices from a range of industries.
