Andy, who is an MBA/CPA as well as an attorney, has focused for more than twenty years on representing closely-held businesses and their owners. His experience includes:
• creating new companies
• handling closely-held stock, including incentive stock option plans, restricted stock plans and the rights of minority shareholders
• business acquisition, including acquisitions by large corporate buyers
• commercial property leasing and purchase
• the sale of closely-held companies
• post-sale legal issues between buyers and former owners, including the effect of non-compete agreements
Just in the single area of commercial property leases, Andy’s experience can save a prospective tenant hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of a typical lease by identifying pitfalls linked to build-out and operating pass-through costs and lease renewal terms. In one case, a company trying to get bank financing years down the road found itself adversely affected because the lease language permitted the landlord to hold a superior interest in the tenant’s property.
Andy has worked with a broad range of business clients, from defense contractors being acquired by international companies to small local businesses which ultimately become major regional players in their industries. A typical client will be in the start-up to $50,000,000 annual revenue range; he prides himself on having many start-up businesses stay with him throughout the span of their growth to becoming significant companies which are often takeover targets for national and international buyers.
