This program examines the purchase and sale of a business. As the end game of any transaction is the contract, the program opens with a brief discussion on contract preparation. It then examines the four stages of the acquisition of a business: first, pre contract considerations attendant to the three types of acquisition: asset purchase, stock purchase, and merger; second, pre-acquisition-agreement documents including letters of intent, term sheets and confidentiality agreements; third, the acquisition agreement, itself, including, among others concerns, warranties and indemnities; and finally related documents and concerns including shareholder arrangements, employment contracts and opinion letters. The program also addresses two anomalous New York statutes that bear on the acquisition of a privately-held corporation or an LLC that does business in New York.
