Herd Law Office

When you purchase a business entity rather than just its assets, you can inherit liabilities that existed before you ever got involved. An employee lawsuit filed after the sale. A tax obligation nobody disclosed. A vendor dispute that was never resolved.

This is not a reason to avoid acquisitions. It is a reason to do them properly. The right legal structure and thorough due diligence protect you from problems that are not yours to begin with.

When a business is sold, some contracts transfer automatically to the new owner. Others require the other party's consent to assign. And some cannot be transferred at all.

This matters more than most buyers realize. A vendor contract, a key client agreement, or a software license that cannot be reassigned can change the value of a deal overnight.

Knowing what you are getting before you close is the whole point of having legal counsel in the room early.

At larger firms, the gap between what you generate and what you take home can be significant. Our compensation model is built to close that gap.

You receive a strong percentage of what you bill on your own clients. The firm handles the overhead. You keep the upside.

If you have developed a solid book of business and are looking for a better structure, we would be glad to have a confidential conversation.

We hear it regularly: "the pricing is in place, this should be straightforward." And then we start asking questions. Is there a landlord whose consent is required? Are there licenses that cannot be easily transferred? Has anyone looked at whether employees were properly classified?

Any one of these issues can derail a transaction entirely. Identifying them early is what keeps a deal on track.

Solo practice can be incredibly rewarding. It can also mean that every vacation, sick day, or slow month falls entirely on you.

Our attorneys have a team to cover them when life happens. That kind of backup is not a small thing. For a lot of lawyers, it is the difference between actually taking time off and just hoping nothing comes up.

If that resonates, we would love to connect.

Due diligence is not just a box to check before closing a deal. It is the process of making sure you actually know what you are buying.

That means reviewing contracts, leases, licenses, employee agreements, and any existing litigation. It means understanding how the business has been run and whether there are any obligations that transfer to you upon purchase.

Skipping or rushing due diligence is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes buyers make.
