Selling a business you’ve spent decades building is never easy, but having the right legal team in place makes a stressful time much easier to navigate.
CMM’s M&A team recently represented a client who had devoted nearly 40 years to its business of selling building cleaning supplies and sanitation products. To close the multimillion-dollar stock deal, we guided our client through a complex F-reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code. For companies in New York, this process, in short, involves forming additional companies and merging the existing corporation into a newly created LLC prior to closing.
Vincent J. Costa led the CMM team, which also included paralegal Cailey McByrne. Vinny and Zach skillfully managed the client’s concerns and deftly handled the major NYC firm representing the buyer. Cailey kept the deal on track and made all necessary filings with the Department of State, all while keeping the dozens of versions of transaction documents well organized and the open issues in the forefront. Our client was very happy with the outcome of the sale to the buyer, a specialized distributor with operations throughout the United States.
