SSE&C attorneys provide counseling to our clients ranging from managing due diligence to drafting and negotiating the detailed transaction documents.

Utilizing their abilities and extensive experience in the organization, purchase, sale and merger of businesses, the attorneys at SSE&C safeguard the interests of our clients by:

• Developing shareholders’, operating or partnership agreements that address critical issues, such as the death, disability or departure of owners, and fashioning the mechanics to address transfers of ownership interests
• Crafting alternative models for resolution of conflicts among shareholders and members of limited liability companies
• Selecting the most appropriate method to determine the value of the business in connection with transfer of ownership interests, and the manner, including leveraged buyouts, in which to fund and ensure that the transferring owner achieves the maximum economic benefit, without adversely impacting the company and remaining owners
