BLUFFTON BUSINESS AND SUCCESSION PLANNING LAWYER
Operate Smart: Contract Drafting & Review
Every handshake agreement needs a clear, legally sound contract behind it. We draft, review, and negotiate business contracts that:
Clearly outline roles, responsibilities, payment terms, and deliverables
Protect confidential information (NDAs)
Establish employment or contractor relationships
Govern partnerships, joint ventures, and vendor relationships
Limit liability and mitigate risk
Avoid costly mistakes. We ensure your contracts comply with South Carolina laws, including the Statute of Frauds, UCC regulations, and common law principles like offer, acceptance, and consideration. We also guide you on key clauses such as indemnity, choice of law, and breach consequences.
Buy or Sell with Confidence: Business Acquisitions & Sales
Selling or acquiring a business in South Carolina? Whether you're buying assets, selling shares, or transferring ownership of a family business, we help you:
Conduct due diligence on financials, liabilities, and legal exposure
Structure asset or stock purchases for optimal risk and tax outcomes
Draft and review Letters of Intent (LOIs), Purchase Agreements, and NDAs
Address licensing, lease assignments, and employee transitions
Coordinate closing documents and settlement statements
Don't go it alone. With legal guidance, you avoid hidden liabilities, ensure compliance, and walk away with confidence.
Plan Ahead: Business Succession Planning
Your business is more than your job—it's part of your legacy. Whether you're preparing for retirement, planning for incapacity, or want to keep the business in the family, we help you:
Create a business succession plan that ensures continuity
Coordinate buy-sell agreements between partners or family members
Integrate your business plan with your personal estate plan
Protect your business from probate, disputes, and tax erosion
Without a proper succession plan, your business could face legal limbo or liquidation. We help ensure a smooth, tax-efficient transition.

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Yes. An LLC gives you a legal shell, but it doesn’t protect you from internal disputes, incapacity, death, or unexpected exits. A full legal strategy includes operating agreements, buy-sell planning, succession prep, and integration with your estate plan.
-
If your business is valuable to you, your family, or your community — the time to plan is now. Succession planning isn’t just about retirement. It’s about preparing for anything that could disrupt your leadership or ownership.
-
Without a legal plan in place, your business could face probate delays, internal confusion, or even forced closure. We help you put the right people and documents in place to keep your company running and protect your family.
-
Absolutely. A smart business plan isn’t just about exit — it’s about growth, risk protection, and peace of mind along the way. Planning early gives you more options and more control.
