Evaluating Your Sell-Side Options

Presented By: Davis|Kuelthau, s.c.

When you’re selling a company, the deal terms far behind a price. Join a trio of C-suite executives as they sit down with a veteran deal attorney to share lessons learned from their experiences. You’ll hear what it’s like to sell a company and stay on; the ins and outs of earn-out and employment agreements; insight around IP asset deals; what goes into sale-leasebacks; and myriad other consideration you may need to evaluate during the process.
