Webinar Description

Often, the owners of a closely held business have entered into a buy-sell agreement among themselves and the business entity. A buy-sell agreement effectively serves as a prenuptial agreement among investors -- reflecting the parties' relative rights and "ground rules" regarding the purchase or sale an ownership interest in the business upon certain triggering events such as the termination, retirement, or death of an owner. This webinar will explore the various types of buy-sell agreements; commonly-encountered pricing mechanisms and processes; and valuable "practice points" designed to avoid confusion and conflict, and increase the opportunity for a reasonable, timely, and cost-effective resolution.
