Drafting, Review and Negotiation of Buy-Sell Agreements, Asset Purchase Agreements and other Business Contracts

Contracts, both written and oral, are the lifeblood of business transactions.  Joel D. Ruben assists his clients in the preparation, review, revision and negotiation of a variety of contracts for the purchase and sale of businesses such as buy-sell agreements and asset purchase agreements.  This representation involves both the “deal points” of the contract as well as ancillary matters such as how a dispute will be resolved and whether attorney’s fees will be recoverable.

Sometimes, after a contract has been signed, it is necessary for a client to enlist a lawyer to interpret the contract and advise the client of his or her rights and obligations.  This may occur both before and after a dispute has arisen.

The sooner a lawyer intervenes in a brewing contract dispute, the better the chances the dispute can be resolved without litigation.
