Business Acquisition Lawyers

By acquiring an existing business you may be able to avoid some of the challenges of a startup, however, there may be some potential risks. Our firm can review the business purchase contract, conduct due diligence and provide other advice outlining potential problems, as well as possible hidden opportunities.

Shareholder Agreements

Shareholder and partnership agreements are equally as significant as your operating agreement. They will function in accordance with all other business formation agreements such as those pertaining to your management structure, governance, financing, employment and general business plan. At Atkinson Law, we strive to customize your agreements to reassure the best opportunities for your business to thrive.

Every business and personal relationship is different, and each impact business agreements uniquely. At Atkinson Law, we sculpt customized agreements for our clients' private businesses of all sizes and industries, as we understand the need to produce a contract that it tailored specifically for your business.

Finding suitable financing is one of the most challenging obstacles any business person must overcome. The ongoing need to produce working capital increases as businesses grow.

At Atkinson Law, we help entrepreneurs obtain financing for their enterprises. Our firm helps operating businesses locate growth capital. We readily advise both investors and lenders considering investment opportunities on both sides of dealings. Our goal is to promote advantageous business enterprises while protecting the rights and interests of our clients.

When we are advising an entrepreneur or business owner, our work starts with a complete review of the enterprise's business plan, finances, and other relevant information. We can review lending documents regarding the structure of a loan, venture capital proposals or family financing arrangements with an eye toward protecting the owner's interests.

I was in the midst of an internal shareholder dispute as well as intertwined real estate litigation that required some urgent legal assistance when I connected with Atkinson Law. Ryan and his team were able to quickly distill the relevant facts and come up with a plan that was efficiently executed. I would say Ryan’s greatest attributes are his passion for strategic legal thinking and his deep understanding of corporate, real estate and litigation law, which enable him to very efficiently navigate and favourably resolve complex legal issues. Ryan is extremely enjoyable to work with and his strategic approach quickly brings clarity to an initial stressful situation.

I was lucky to connect with Atkinson Law 5 years ago at a challenging moment in my life, I needed a lawyer to represent me in court the very next morning, and found Atkinson law online. They were very helpful and supportive, and more importantly, we won the case. Since then Atkinson law handles all my legal matters, I feel safe and I know I am always protected. With the help of Atkinson Law, I am growing my business and avoiding costly mistakes.

An amazing team. Ryan and associates are true professionals. Ryan was introduced to me by a long time friend who recommended his services when my brother and I were having some issues with a mortgage investment. I was impressed with the manner in which Ryan handled himself in the court proceedings. I have come to know him on a personal and professional level.

Most recently he acted for me and my brother on a power of sale issue with great success in court. He is an experienced lawyer, detail-oriented, one who understands the intricacies of the law but does not lose sight of the real world. He is prompt in returning calls, texts and emails.

Ryan and his staff go above and beyond for their clients in order to give them the best possible advice. They are efficient, pay attention to the last detail and get the job done. It is comforting to know that someone is truly looking out for your interest. I will not hesitate to recommend Ryan and his team. Overall, an excellent team that provides high quality service.
