Why Do I Need a Lawyer if I am Selling a Business?
In most business sales, there is a business broker and a settlement lawyer. Often, one of the parties to the transaction has hired a lawyer. With all of these professionals involved, you may ask, "Why should I spend the money to hire my own lawyer?" To answer this question, you first need to understand the roles of all of the parties involved in the sale.
The broker receives a commission only if the sale takes place, and brokers will generally not help the seller or the buyer after the sale has been completed. The closing attorney or settlement company is a neutral party representing neither the buyer nor the seller and is only responsible to make sure the business is legally transferred at settlement.
The other party's attorney definitely does not represent your interests! Many buyers and sellers do not wish to hire a lawyer because they don't want to complicate the transaction or they've decided that they are going forward regardless of the risk. This would be a mistake! Whether you are buying a business or selling a business, you need your own lawyer to make sure you get the benefit of the bargain you've negotiated. The bottom line is that buyers and sellers have very different interests in these transactions.
