A business transaction is a legally binding agreement between parties that affects ownership, control, or operation of a business, including asset or stock purchases, licensing arrangements, and significant commercial contracts.
Key elements include due diligence, contract drafting, negotiations, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, and a clearly defined closing process to finalize the deal.
This glossary explains common terms used in business transactions and how they apply to California practice.
A Purchase Agreement is a contract that outlines the terms of a sale of goods, assets, or equity interests, including price, representations, warranties, covenants, and closing conditions.
An NDA protects confidential information exchanged during negotiations and deal discussions.
Due diligence is a thorough review of a target’s assets, liabilities, contracts, financials, and operations before completing a transaction.
Closing conditions specify what must occur before the deal can close, such as approvals, financing, and regulatory requirements.
Different structures—such as asset purchases, stock purchases, or mergers—carry distinct liability, tax, and control implications. We help you choose the approach that best fits your business goals.
