How We Help You Buy or Sell With Confidence

The Real Value of Getting the Deal Right

Because the Terms You Negotiate Today Are What Protect You Years From Now

Picture this: you are across the table from professional dealmakers who buy and sell companies all the time, and it is your first sale. The price looks good, everyone is friendly, and it feels like smooth sailing. The real test comes months or years later when memories fade, permits change, or a lawsuit appears. That is when the legal terms you negotiated become priceless.

At Costaras Law, we help clients avoid the 1 percent nightmare by getting the 99 percent details right. Whether you are setting up a company, building a repeatable contract framework, or navigating mergers and acquisitions, we bring practical business insight and rigorous legal protection to every deal.

Who We Serve

Practical Counsel For Companies

We work with founders just getting started and established companies doing 100 million in annual revenue. As business complexity grows, agreements must mature. Early on, simple, clear contracts can get you to the next milestone. As you scale, nuance increases, and so does the need for depth in the documents. We help clients graduate their agreements at the right time.

Getting the Deal Right

Business Terms and Legal Terms

Business terms usually cover price, timing, and exactly what assets or equity are being exchanged. Legal terms create the protection that lasts. The most overlooked safeguards include:

  • Liability caps that fit the economics of the contract
  • Indemnification that properly allocates risk and prevents you from getting dragged into disputes you did not cause
  • Covenants such as non compete and non solicitation that are reasonable and enforceable
  • Clear timelines, approvals, permits, and post closing obligations

Think of these protections like insurance. Most of the time you will not need them. When you do, they can save you time, money, and peace of mind.

Clients come to us at two points:

  • Terms are set, and they need us to paper the deal.
  • Terms are not set, and they want negotiation support.

Buyer's Side or Seller's Side

We Know Both

Business-Contract

We represent buyers and sellers. That dual perspective helps us anticipate what the other side values, ask the right questions, and reduce friction. The result for our clients: stronger terms, fewer surprises, and faster closings.

Timing: When to Involve Us

  • Selling a business: Start one to five years before your target exit. With proper legal, business, and valuation preparation, we have seen values double and even more. This is especially important for many baby boomer owners planning retirement.
  • Buying a business: Under 5 million dollars can take 9 to 12 months, often up to 18 to 24 months. Larger transactions with teams involved can be multi year. If you want comprehensive negotiation support, bring us in early. Even if you are comfortable with business terms, a short call before issuing letters of intent helps you surface key legal issues in advance.
