Sale of Food Safety Consulting and Research Business
Our client, a food safety consulting and research business, sought our advice for its sale to a private-equity fund in 2017, and we provided them with assistance from letter of intent to closing, as well as post-closing personal and estate planning.
This assistance included deal structure and strategy, terms of earn-out and contingent consideration, and advice on applying working capital adjustment to a cash-basis company. We also provided guidance on tax strategy, risk mitigation, and transition issues, and assisted with post-closing estate and tax planning for the client’s family.
