Whether your business is growing or changing, you need expert legal representation that understands your company and can help you achieve your goals. The attorneys at Zewdu Alem & Associates can provide the expertise and guidance in business issues including the sale and purchase of a business, due diligence, and lease agreements.

Our business transactions group includes attorneys who have extensive practical experience and legal knowledge to assist clients to recognize, evaluate, and capitalize on business opportunities. We help our clients formulate their business goals and develop strategic plans to help achieve them. Time is often of the essence with business transactions and we understand those pressures, working efficiently to get the job done. In addition, we know the Maryland business market and provide valuable insights for our clients.

Key aspects of our work include the purchase and sale of businesses. We can evaluate the physical and intangible assets of a business and place an appropriate monetary value on it. Whether our clients are buying or selling, we aggressively represent their interests to achieve the best price for their purposes. 

We also conduct due diligence for businesses under a variety of circumstances. Whether buying or selling a business, merging companies, purchasing corporate stock, or buying a business partnership, due diligence is a critical first step. We conduct an in-depth investigation of the business to ascertain a fair purchase price of the business as well as identify any business liabilities that may affect your decisions.

Whether you are the landlord or the renter, we draft or review commercial lease agreements to assure that your interests are protected. We protect landlord rights to assure that they are paid all rents and fees they deserve. Our renter lease agreements assure that the landlord cannot lease space to a competitor or a business that will have a negative impact on our client’s business.
