Overview

The attorneys of the Business Transactions Service Area at Hall Booth Smith represent companies in a broad range of business transactions from initial formation to acquisitions, mergers and divestitures, and almost everything in between.

Serving as a partner for our client’s needs and goals, we have represented individuals and companies of many different sizes: the family or founder looking to exit her business, the entrepreneur looking at his latest start-up or expansion opportunity, family offices, private equity investors, and both closely and publicly held companies. Our approach is simple: build the right team to deliver the results our clients desire in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner.

Business transactions come in many different forms and sizes and often implicate a variety of different areas of the law.  As a full-service law firm, HBS puts the right team together to make sure our clients’ needs are met from the early negotiations of a letter of intent through consummation of the transaction and post-closing integration.
