Comprehensive Legal Guidance for Business Sales, Acquisitions & Real Estate Transactions

At The Real Estate Law Firm, we go far beyond standard transactional support. We serve as strategic advisors for business owners, medical professionals, and franchise operators looking to buy, sell, lease, or restructure their operations. Our deep experience in asset protection, tax planning, estate strategy, and commercial real estate law gives our clients a powerful legal advantage when navigating high-stakes business transactions.

Whether you’re negotiating an Asset Purchase Agreement, leasing a location, or acquiring a multi-unit property, we deliver the clarity and structure needed to close your deal securely and profitably.

What Is an Asset Purchase Agreement?

An Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) is a binding legal contract used in the sale or acquisition of a business. It outlines the specific terms of the transaction—including what assets are being transferred, liabilities assumed, and the agreed purchase price. Unlike a stock sale, an APA allows the buyer to “cherry-pick” assets while minimizing unwanted liabilities.

At our firm, we assist clients with:

• Drafting and negotiating Letters of Intent (LOI)
  
  

• Defining deal terms, closing conditions, and asset schedules
  
  

• Navigating due diligence, tax impacts, and entity structure
  
  

• Coordinating the real estate and lease components of the sale
  
  

Legal Support for Medical, Franchise, and Professional Transactions

We’ve represented a wide range of businesses in industries where the stakes are high and the margins for error are small:

Medical & Healthcare Transactions

From dental and surgical practices to urgent care and outpatient clinics, we represent physicians and medical business owners in both single-site and multi-location transactions. We handle asset transfers, lease negotiations, and ensure regulatory compliance—while implementing tax strategies that protect long-term wealth.

Franchise Purchase & Sale Support

Franchise acquisitions come with layers of complexity—FDD reviews, real estate negotiations, brand requirements, and often personal guarantees. We help buyers and sellers mitigate risk, structure the business correctly, and avoid pitfalls that could jeopardize the investment.

Structuring Businesses for Growth and Protection

A successful transaction doesn’t stop at the signing table. We help clients ensure their new or restructured business is positioned for long-term profitability and protection through:

• LLC and Series LLC Formation
  
  

• Parent-Subsidiary Structuring
  
  

• Buy-Sell Agreements and Partnership Terms
  
  

• Franchise & Licensing Agreements
  
  

• Commercial Lease Review & Negotiation
  
  

For multi-unit operators and developers, we also integrate 1031 Exchange strategies, commercial lease portfolios, and asset segregation models into your legal plan.
