Commercial Transactions

Kerr Russell is extensively experienced in all aspects of business law and commercial transactions. Our transaction attorneys begin each transaction with one goal—get the transaction closed as quickly and inexpensively as possible and on the best terms for our client. We are transaction attorneys and we get things done.

Our attorneys draft, review, and interpret commercial contracts and agreements related to the sale, manufacture, acquisition, and distribution of goods and services in a wide range of industries and market sectors.

We assist at all stages of the process and with virtually all types of commercial transactions, including purchase and sale of assets and businesses, sales and distribution agreements, professional services contracts, commercial financing and banking contracts, joint venture agreements, loan workouts and refinancings, franchise agreements, supply agreements and intellectual property licenses and contracts, as well as the full array of employment contracts including employment, confidentiality, non-compete, and severance and termination agreements.

Our attorneys handle all pertinent documentation and perform necessary legal due diligence, in addition to providing counsel and strategic advice during the contract negotiation process.
