Business Transactions & Contracts
Protecting Your Interests in Every Deal
Contract Drafting and Review
Strong Agreements That Prevent Future Disputes
Contracts form the foundation of any business relationship. Naumann & Associates drafts, reviews, and negotiates agreements that protect small business owners across Elk Grove Village and the northwest suburbs. From client service agreements to vendor contracts, employment agreements, and non-disclosure clauses, we ensure documents are enforceable, clear, and tailored to your goals. Our attorneys spot hidden risks and negotiate terms that put your interests first.
Buying or Selling a Business
Comprehensive Support From Negotiation to Closing
When you’re buying or selling a business, every detail matters. We assist with letters of intent, due diligence, purchase agreements, and closing documents. For small businesses, this may include asset purchases, transferring leases, or structuring stock transfers within a family. Whether you’re selling a long-standing family business in Elk Grove Village or acquiring a new venture in Naperville, our attorneys manage the complexity so you can move forward confidently.
Partnerships, LLC Membership, and Shareholder Agreements
Setting Clear Terms for Business Owners
Business ownership often involves multiple parties, which makes strong agreements essential. We draft and review partnership agreements, operating agreements, and shareholder agreements that establish fair terms for profit-sharing, decision-making, and buy-outs. By resolving these issues upfront, we reduce the likelihood of costly disputes later and give owners peace of mind.
Joint Ventures and Other Transactions
Structuring Strategic Business Relationships
Beyond everyday contracts, Naumann & Associates helps businesses with joint ventures, licensing agreements, and franchise deals. These arrangements carry unique financial and operational considerations, and our attorneys provide guidance that ensures fairness, compliance, and long-term sustainability. We take the time to understand your business goals before shaping the terms of any partnership.
Compliance in Transactions
Ensuring Deals Meet Legal Requirements
Business transactions must comply with state and federal regulations. Our attorneys review every deal to ensure compliance with requirements such as UCC filings, securities considerations, or employment-related laws. This thorough approach protects you from costly oversights and ensures that contracts and transactions are enforceable.
