OBA Business Law PROGRAM | 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Buying and selling a business is an important event in the life of a client that solicitors are asked to help with. Join your colleagues for a thoughtful and engaging day as you gather practical, hands-on guidance on the process of buying and selling a business. From the initial client contact to the final reporting letter, you will walk away with a general understanding of the key things to be aware of at each stage of a business transaction, with real-world application through a detailed fact pattern. 

Our expert faculty will guide you through the fact pattern highlighting the key elements and decision points in buying and selling a business, with separate sections focused on buying and selling assets and another on buying and selling shares. Each section will be delivered through a practical lens, focusing on typical pitfalls, and effective strategies. You will learn how to carry out the basic steps of both a share and an asset transaction and be provided with practical guidance on working with your buyer or seller client.

Whether you are a newer business lawyer, someone who occasionally handles business transactions, or an experienced practitioner in need of a refresher, this program offers the tools and knowledge necessary to confidently manage every step of a business transaction from beginning to end.
