M&A
“Before the term sheet. Before the lawyers got involved. ... Here’s what thirty-five years of running a family business looks like on paper. We’re not going to wait until you find it — we’re willing to price it.”

Approach & Eugene

Risk isn’t your problem.

Information is. Timing is.

There’s never enough information and waiting for more isn’t usually an option.

This is where we start. What you are trying to do and why. What you hope to gain. What you hope doesn’t happen.

Only you know that.

Coming from decades working in BigTech, operations, logistics, kitchens, and my own family’s business, I understand. You never have all the information and sometimes things go sideways.

In 2013, I started Ready Legal Group to help people get stuff done. I’ve seen and worked through thousands of situations and transactions. And though yours will be unique, I can help you identify and plan for the obvious and not-so-obvious risks and deal with the aftermath when something unexpected happens.

Start-to-Finish Deals

Are you considering a major change? Selling your business, purchasing a business, merging with another company, entering a partnership, or bringing in outside investment. Be ready. I will help you identify and weigh your options before you negotiate them away.

Speed Dial

Something has gone wrong, or the initial decisions on your deal are set. You need an experienced tactician to get up to speed quickly, lay out what’s next, and help you get the most out of what’s left.

Fractional General Counsel

You need to make better, faster decisions. Your business is moving too fast to deal with one problem at a time. You need ongoing support from someone who already knows you, your business, your goals, your acceptable risks, and the things likely to go sideways.

Tell me what’s going on.
