Asset Purchase Agreements in California
Specialized asset purchase agreements representation by Sari Law Firm— part of our Business Law practice. Free consultation, transparent pricing, and clear communication at every step.
What is Asset Purchase Agreements?
An asset purchase agreement (APA) governs the sale of specific business assets, equipment, inventory, contracts, customer lists, intellectual property, rather than the seller's stock or membership interests. The buyer chooses which assets and liabilities transfer; the seller's legal entity stays behind with everything not on the schedule.
When you might need this service
- You are buying a business and want to avoid inheriting unknown liabilities (litigation, tax exposure, employment claims).
- You are selling a division or product line of a larger company without selling the entire entity.
- The transaction is heavily regulated (licensed industries, healthcare, real estate) and asset transfer simplifies licensing.
- Tax planning favors an asset structure (basis step-up for the buyer, allocation flexibility for the seller).
How Sari Law Firm helps
We negotiate and draft the full APA: asset and liability schedules, representations and warranties, indemnification (basket, cap, survival), purchase price allocation, post-closing covenants, non-competes, and bulk sales notice compliance. We coordinate with the buyer's lender, the seller's accountant, and any required regulators. Diligence runs in parallel with drafting so closing is not held up.
Predictable timelines, transparent pricing
Most asset purchase agreements engagements follow a clear path. We give you the timeline and the price in writing before the work begins, so you can plan with confidence.
