Behind every restaurant and retail business is a transaction that made it possible.
We represent buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants in restaurant, bar, and retail transactions. Our work includes structuring acquisitions as asset, stock, or membership interest sales, performing due diligence, negotiating lease assignments, addressing security for deferred purchase price, and managing closing contingencies.
We counsel clients on licensing and permitting, including liquor license transfers and related contingencies, as well as transferee liability, seller representations and warranties, price adjustments, indemnification, and closing. We understand the operational realities of restaurant and retail businesses and structure transactions to address inventory, employees, vendor contracts, and business continuity.
