Strategic Partnerships With A Woodbury Mergers And Acquisitions Attorney

You deserve a mergers and acquisitions lawyer who treats your deal with the same care you used to build your brand. At Goerlitz Law, PLLC, I provide experienced guidance for the transition into your next chapter. From my law office in Woodbury, I serve entrepreneurs and business entities throughout Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin.

My name is attorney Jared M. Goerlitz. I combine a mind for business with more than 10 years of legal practice. From me, you can expect sophisticated business transaction services without the unnecessary overhead and friction of a large firm. I partner closely with you to ensure that your hard-earned value remains intact.

Buying A Business: Structure And Due Diligence

The early framework of a deal carries the highest stakes, as it dictates future tax burdens and liabilities. Choosing between an asset purchase agreement and a stock purchase agreement involves assessing your long-term goals. I analyze these structures to shield you from inherited debts and unfavorable tax consequences. The thorough due diligence that I perform can uncover hidden risks before you commit your capital. Working with a dedicated M&A lawyer ensures that your new venture starts on a foundation of clarity rather than hidden complications.

Selling A Business: LOIs And Protecting Your Exit

For sellers, the letter of intent (LOI) sets the tone for the entire business transaction. Although an LOI is nonbinding, it is not a mere formality. It establishes:

• Price
• Timeline
• Exclusivity
• Confidentiality

I can help draft and negotiate this initial agreement to prevent future disputes. A strong start protects your exit strategy and keeps the buyer committed to your vision. This way, you can walk away from the closing table with peace of mind and the full value of your enterprise.

The Agreements That Make Or Break The Deal

Most disputes in mergers and acquisitions arise from vague language or incomplete documentation. Precise drafting is the best proactive measure to prevent costly litigation after the sale. As a Twin Cities M&A lawyer, I prepare the critical documents that drive successful outcomes, including:

• Purchase agreements
• Stock purchase agreements (SPAs)
• Asset purchase agreements (APAs)
• Noncompete and nonsolicitation agreements
• Employment contracts
• Other key contracts

These agreements define the rights and responsibilities of all parties. My focus is on creating clear, enforceable terms that allow you to close your transaction with certainty.
