There is a life cycle to every business.

Some companies and businesses last for a lifetime or even longer. Others have a shorter lifespan.

Sometimes, a company or business merely changes owners or changes its form. Mergers and acquisitions; asset and stock sales; business dispositions–these are important transactions in the life cycle of many businesses.

DPS Legal Counsel is available to represent companies that are preparing to undertake a change in their operations or business form, whether that change is due to a proposed merger or acquisition or whether it is as a result of a purchase or sale of all or a substantial amount of the company’s assets. Since the structuring of business transactions can have significant income tax implications, DPS Legal Counsel is ready to advise and counsel business sellers or buyers as to the many and various tax issues raised by their proposed deal.
