Business & Transactional Law
In reality, almost all aspects of our lives are controlled or affected by business transactions. Our employment is a form of a business transaction. Every purchase is a business transaction, including notably, the purchase or rental of a home or car.
Many people are involved in personal investments such as real estate or brokerage accounts. These are business transactions. Especially those who own their businesses, whether it be sales (such as running a store or a gas station) or the rendition of services (such as yard work, or as a plumber, electrician, or any other service for hire), are involved in business transactions.
Of course, the purchase or sale of a business or the assets of a business, the formation of a partnership or corporation to carry on a business, or the purchase or lease of real property, equipment, or furnishings to carry on a business are all business transactions.
It is extremely important to consult with legal counsel before committing to any substantial transaction and to have the assistance of legal counsel in documenting and “closing” any substantial business transaction.
