Boise Outsourced General Counsel Services
Smith + Malek is a full-service business law firm in Boise. We provide legal services for the entire business lifecycle.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are transactions that consolidate two or more companies or their assets.
A merger occurs when two companies combine, creating a new legal entity.
An acquisition occurs when a larger company purchases and absorbs a smaller company. M&A transactions can grow your company quickly and efficiently, expanding its reach and market share. They can also serve as defensive business tactics to eliminate competition by acquiring or buying a competitor.
M&A transactions are complex and can significantly impact the businesses involved. The role of a Boise corporate counsel lawyer in an M&A transaction is to assist the client throughout the entire process. Our attorneys support buyers and sellers in these complicated transactions by:
- Identifying the client’s business objectives;
- Conducting due diligence;
- Formulating a strategy for the entire transaction, including a timeframe;
- Providing advice on deal and negotiation tactics;
- Identifying financing structures and sources of capitalization;
- Drafting and negotiating contracts; and
- Closing the deal.
Smith + Malek’s M&A team also identifies, foresees, and mitigates risks for clients. Engaging an M&A general counsel lawyer at the beginning of the transaction is essential to structuring the deal, minimizing taxes, and protecting against risk.
Contract Creation and Enforcement
Contracts govern business relationships with customers, suppliers, partners, and shareholders. A Boise corporate lawyer can draft agreements to ensure your business has the highest degree of protection. They can also review and negotiate incoming contracts and advise on their legal implications and whether you should sign them.
Having sound legal contract advice early on can help avoid ugly and complicated situations. If one party fails to meet the contractual obligations, a business law attorney can help you enforce the terms of the agreement and litigate the issue if needed.
Human Resources Compliance
If your business has employees, you must follow specific employment laws. Our team can ensure your company is compliant with those laws and protected from allegations of employment discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. Smith + Malek can help your company understand employment law, best practices surrounding job classifications, accommodations in the workplace, and hiring and firing. Our attorneys can also draft and provide guidance on employment contracts, non-compete provisions, non-disclosure agreements, and policies and procedures. Should any employment problems arise, we can also mediate or litigate the issue and advocate on your company’s behalf.
Real Estate Transactions
If part of operating your business involves buying or selling real estate, a Boise real estate attorney can ensure proper execution of the transaction and that your interests are protected. Our team of real estate attorneys will represent your business interests throughout the transaction process. The attorneys can assist by:
- Conducting due diligence;
- Negotiating the deal;
- Preparing, drafting, and reviewing documents such as purchase agreements, loan documents, title documents, financing documents, and transfer documents;
- Advising on whether the transaction complies with state laws;
- Conducting title searches;
- Preparing closing documents;
- And managing and resolving real estate disputes and litigation.
Real estate law is far from straightforward. Having a Boise general counsel attorney with real estate expertise is key to ensuring the success of your transaction.
