Cleveland Business Mergers Lawyers

Advising Ohio Businesses in Purchases, Sales and Mergers

Ziegler Metzger advises closely held corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships about the best ways to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by business sales, purchases or mergers. Contact us in Cleveland, Painesville or Chagrin Falls to discuss your project with an experienced corporate attorney.

We advise clients in real estate, manufacturing, high tech, professional practices, retail and other industries at every stage of a business sale or acquisition from the initial feelers and letter of intent through nondisclosure agreements, negotiation of terms, due diligence, financing and closing. The specific services we perform will depend on the scale and complexity of the deal, whether your company is buying or selling, and your particular objectives after divestiture or acquisition.

If you're the buyer, we can protect you from unanticipated risk on matters ranging from asset valuation to employment or regulatory liability through careful investigation of the business under consideration. We can also structure the financing details to reflect accurate cash flow projections and realistic credit terms.

If you're the seller, we can help you identify your options for maximizing the return on your investment while meeting other essential goals. Some sellers will want to maintain a continuing relationship with the business as an executive or consultant for a defined period, while others will need to protect their range of action within the terms of a noncompetition agreement. No matter what your business exit goals might involve, our lawyers understand the importance of careful attention to accurate disclosures, sensible financing terms and practical remedies in the event of the buyer's default.

Precisely what you need.

The qualities that make a good partnership feel like the right partnerships are sometimes hard to get your arms around. When you're working with a law firm that's made up of professionals who truly work well together on their clients' behalf, that intangible feeling of satisfaction becomes easier to understand. There's a certain sense of balance between efficiency and expertise that can only be delivered by a firm that is comfortable with who they are and what they are working toward. We think it's this time-honored approach that leads to the value of good counsel.
