California Business Law Firm

Looking Beneath the Surface

As an experienced California business law firm, the Law Offices of Steven E. Springer has helped scores of business and corporate clients successfully acquire businesses, divest property, and restructure their operations.

We represent clients in matters involving:

• Acquisition and sale of businesses and business assets
• Corporate buyouts, mergers, and acquisitions
• Corporate restructuring and related matters
• Partnership dissolution and restructuring
• Business succession
• Real estate matters
• And others

In undertaking these activities, we look at all aspects of the proposed transaction — not just the legal or financial aspects of the deal itself. For example, long before the due diligence process begins, we work with clients to understand all of the potential legal and business pitfalls of the transaction, as well as the opportunities it presents.

A business acquisition, for example, almost always comes with employee issues. What potentially damaging employment law or labor law issues lie buried in the company's personnel files or are simmering on the shop floor?

If the acquisition involves real estate, is the property fairly valued and does it come with any encumbrances or potential legal problems?

Are the company's business records in order and do they accurately reflect the true state of affairs?

The answers to these and many other questions hold both peril and opportunity for the acquiring investors. The Law Offices of Steven E. Springer has extensive experience in helping small and medium sized businesses acquire, divest, and restructure their operations. Our lawyers dig beneath the surface of business affairs to understand the reality of what lies below. We can provide the sound advice and answers you need to make informed business decisions.
