Business Transactions

Business transactions can take on a life of their own and it is imperative that you protect both your financial and legal position from the beginning.  Closing a business transaction requires careful planning, attention to detail, experience with due diligence procedures, and a keen awareness and thorough understanding of the interests and intentions of each party to the transaction.

Many times transactions stall due to an imbalance of interests between parties or a misunderstanding of each party's intentions. Often, these imbalances or misunderstandings will create a tense environment and one that hampers the progress of a deal.

Mr. Mariano's professional background and business ownership and management experiences help him advise not only on the legal and compliance requirements for a transaction but also on the non-legal aspects. Paul regularly advises his clients on contract negotiations and business planning and operations due to his background in both the law and business ownership.
