Oren M. Chaplin, co-chair of the firm’s Corporate & Business Law practice, and Eric D. Weinstock, partner in the firm’s Trusts & Estates practice, recently presented an event titled “Your Next Move: Buying or Selling a Business in Today’s Market”, in partnership with Temple University’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute and Small Business Development Center. The event was designed to help business owners and prospective buyers navigate the process of acquiring or selling a business.
Chaplin and Weinstock presented on the ‘Sell’ side of the event in a session titled, “Maximizing Your Exit: Tax, Deal Structure, and Legal Protection for Sellers.” The talk covered how taxes, deal structure, seller financing, earnouts, non-competes, and estate planning can affect the proceeds and long-term outcomes of a business sale.
Oren Chaplin advises businesses and business owners on legal, compliance, contracting, and transactional matters throughout the business lifecycle, from formation and growth through market exit. He has extensive experience with mergers and acquisitions, business planning, corporate governance, due diligence, and other transactions, making him well positioned to advise sellers on deal structure, legal considerations, and protecting their interests during a business sale.
Eric Weinstock focuses on estate planning, tax minimization, and business succession planning. He advises business owners on strategies involving estate, gift, generation-skipping transfer, and income taxes, helping them plan for the long-term financial and family implications of a business transition or sale.
Mark G. Wendaur IV, who recently joined the firm as a partner in our Corporate & Business Law and Commercial Real Estate practices, presented on the ‘Buy’ side in a session titled, “Closing the Deal: Due Diligence, Deal Structuring, and What You Need to Know.”
