Gunster attorney Joe Chase

In a recent article published on Law.com, one of the premier legal industry publications, Gunster shareholder Joseph P. Chase discusses key factors business owners should consider prior to engaging an investment banker during the selling process.

When business owners decide to engage an investment banker in the selling process, an engagement letter is drafted between the two parties. Chase explains that these letters typically contain numerous technical provisions, which an experienced deal lawyer can help a business owner navigate.

Chase cites some of the most critical issues that should be detailed in the engagement letter, including list of services, retainer and fees, provisions, reimbursements, and termination and indemnification provisions, among others.
