I will draft a complete startup acquisition legal package
Licensed US Corporate Attorney, Securing Your Startup Exit and M and A
About this Gig
When it is time to finalize the sale of your startup, the exact wording of your purchase agreement will dictate your financial security for years to come. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #115338), I draft comprehensive Asset Purchase Agreements (APA) and Stock Purchase Agreements (SPA) designed to close deals efficiently while strictly limiting your post-closing liabilities.
Selling your business requires precision. I ensure that indemnification clauses, escrow holdbacks, and representations are heavily negotiated in your favor.
What I Provide:
- Asset Purchase Agreements (cherry-picking assets/liabilities to sell).
- Stock Purchase Agreements (selling the entity entirely).
- Disclosure Schedules (protecting you from breach of contract claims).
- Bill of Sale and Closing Certificates.
Secure your payout and protect yourself from post-acquisition lawsuits. Review the packages to determine if an APA or SPA fits your needs, and place your order to finalize your acquisition.

FAQ
Should I use an Asset Purchase (APA) or Stock Purchase (SPA)?
Buyers usually prefer APAs to avoid hidden liabilities, while sellers prefer SPAs for favorable tax treatments. I can draft either.
What are Disclosure Schedules?
They are critical attachments to the agreement where you disclose known issues (like pending lawsuits or IP flaws) so the buyer cannot sue you for them later.
What is an escrow holdback?
It is a percentage of the purchase price held by a third party for a set time (e.g., 12 months) to cover potential breaches of representations by the seller.
Do you provide escrow services?
No, I provide the legal drafting of the agreement. You will use a third-party financial institution to hold escrow funds.
What is included in the Closing Certificates?
These include the Officer's Certificate, Secretary's Certificate, and Bill of Sale required to legally finalize the transaction on closing day.
