Risk and business sale transactions go hand in hand, but it’s up to you to influence how much risk is in play in any given matter. To keep risk low for your clients and your practice, you must have a firm grip on the due diligence practices that can prevent a deal from going belly up and a client relationship from going sour. You must be an unassailable expert at warranties, indemnities, insurance, IP, leasing, and franchising issues.
