Chris is an exceptional business attorney that our tax firm refers to often for help on the legal structuring and obstacles our clients face. What makes Chris exceptional is that he is willing to listen to our clients issues and then calculatingly recommend solutions that keep the owners best interest at mind. Chris is also very handy in terms of being able to attend to many aspects of law. He has prepared convertible notes for some of our tech and startup companies. He has prepared our clients partnership and operating agreements, dissolutions, buy/sells, and consulted on various areas of contract law.
Recently Chris and I worked together in a situation where an employee of a high-end salon was buying the business from the owner. Chris was able to negotiate a lower price on the sale and retain the proper information to assure the employee that there was no inherited compliance liability after purchasing the business. He was also able to save my client significant income tax by structuring the sale as an asset sale rather than a purchase of the LLC’s stock/interest. As a CPA it is an absolute pleasure working with Chris as I know that my clients are not only being take care of legally but also financially.
