Deciding whether to form a business as a corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship or LLC is an important decision. Our firm has the skills and experience to guide our clients through this process. Let us help your business start off strong and increase your chances at success.

Buy/Sell Agreements

A buy/sell agreement, also known as a buyout agreement, is a must-have for many business owners. This agreement stipulates what happens to the business in the event of a co-owner’s death, retirement, resignation, or other kind of departure. A buy/sell agreement can ward off countless disputes among owners, descendants, spouses, ex-spouses, and other parties-in-interest.

The Afshar Law Firm can help negotiate successful buy/sell agreements on behalf of businesses looking to ensure their continuity long after the founders have retired. A well-executed buy/sell contract can give all parties peace of mind and avoid potential litigation down the road.

We carefully guide clients through the process of deciding who can buy a departing owner’s share of the business, what events will trigger a buyout, the price of the buyout and how that price will be determined, and what form the buy/sell agreement will take (cross-purchase or stock redemption).

Contracts & Contract Disputes

The Afshar Law Firm takes precautions to ensure that our clients are protected during every step of the contract process, from drafting and negotiation to execution. We strive to give our clients peace of mind with the knowledge that their business is in good hands. Unfortunately, contract disputes can and do happen. In that event, we will work hand in hand with our clients to achieve outcomes that are in their best interests. Whether you are a business that needs to revamp its contracts in order to be protected, or an individual who feels as if they have been taken advantage of by a poorly written contract, contact the Afshar Law Firm and let us help you resolve your issues.
