Strategic transaction counsel for owners buying, selling, or changing control.
Pham Law Firm represents buyers and sellers in acquisitions, divestitures, redemptions, recapitalizations, founder and partner buyouts, and other consequential changes in ownership—from early structuring and letters of intent through diligence, definitive agreements, financing, transition planning, and closing.
THE OWNER LENS
A transaction is never only a purchase agreement. It is forward motion under uncertainty. Our role is not to promise calm water, but to help the owner chart a deliberate course—evaluating economics, control, financing, timing, tax-advisor input, management continuity, and what the business and the owner’s life should look like after closing.
RISK ALLOCATION
Every deal assigns risk, whether the parties address it deliberately or not. We help identify the exposures that could impair value or control, reduce or transfer risks that should not remain with the client, and evaluate which risks may be justified by the opportunity.
REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS
Buyer- and seller-side transactions involving privately held operating companies and related real estate. Family and partner buyouts. Multi-state and multi-entity structures. Asset and equity transactions. Seller financing, earnouts, transition arrangements, indemnification, and negotiated risk allocation.
HOW WE WORK
We start with the owner’s objectives and decision constraints, frame the material issues early, coordinate with finance, tax, investment, and specialized advisors, and stay close through diligence, negotiation, documentation, and closing.
DIRECT, EXPERIENCED COUNSEL
Clients work directly with Vu Pham, JD, MHA, CEPA—an attorney, former CEO and general counsel, and advisor to owners navigating high-stakes business decisions.
Request a confidential conversation before signing a letter of intent or committing to a transaction path. We will define the objectives, timing, material risks, and whether the firm is the right fit.
