Our Firm specializes in advising closely-held businesses (including women-owned and minority-owned businesses). We have consulted for numerous companies, including but not limited to farms and ranches, medical practices (including doctors and dentists), computer software, real estate, manufacturing and medical companies, as well as companies providing services to the Department of Defense. Our attorney and staff, both male and female, have owned (and still own) successful businesses in their own right outside the law. As a result, we understand the cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment which business people face daily. In our legal role as your advocate, we seek to provide the counsel and advice clients need in order to maximize profit potential and still meet the demanding requirements imposed by federal and state laws.
Buckley Law is also licensed by the National Football League Player's Association as an advisor. We do not act as an agent to professional athletes. Rather, we use the exact same legal tools for athletes that we use for doctors, developers, entrepreneurs, and other high net worth individuals. The Firm provides entity structures to enhance asset protection and tax planning for professional athletes.
One of the key elements in business planning is identifying and orchestrating successful exits from companies for business owners. For many businesses, death is the owner's exit strategy. Our Firm works through a seven-step process in order to help business owners successfully negotiate leaving their businesses in style, alive, while meeting their personal long-term goals and objectives. The seven steps are:
Step1 - Setting Exit Objectives
Step2 - Determining Value/Price
Step3 - Preserving, Protecting and Promoting Value
Step4 - Converting Business Value to Cash-Sale to outside party
Step5 - Transferring the Business for a promissory note
Step6 - Contingency planning for Business
Step7 - Wealth Preservation
