Our Services
At DPA Law PC, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to support start-ups, private companies, and entrepreneurs as they build, grow, and exit their businesses. Our services include:
Start-Ups
We understand that you're committed to building your business as rapidly as possible while avoiding common mistakes. From entity organization to financings through exit, we provide tested practical guidance to help you achieve your goals.
Private Companies
Privately held small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) employ half the US worker force and generate 40% of national income (GDP). We support these essential businesses and their diverse legal needs, whether it's a business entity formation, a reorganization, contract drafting or negotiation, employment, or business purchases and sales transactions.
Tech & Business Contracts
We appreciate that you may not have a passion for analyzing and drafting contracts - but we do, and we are very good at it. Our attorneys have extensive experience in negotiating and drafting contracts that protect your interests and ensure a smooth transaction.
Business Purchases & Sales
The purchase and sale of an existing business can be structured in one of three ways: as an asset sale; stock or membership interest sale; or as a statutory merger or consolidation. We have material experience representing buyers and sellers in each, and each presents its own tax and risk implications which are more or less favorable depending on whether you are the buyer or seller.
Our attorneys are dedicated to providing expert guidance throughout the pre-transaction planning, cleanup, and deal structure process. From assessing feasible deal structures and tax efficiencies to negotiating non-binding term sheets or letters of intent, we ensure that our clients' transactions are executed smoothly and efficiently.
