Asset Sales
With the downturn in the economy, many business owners have elected to sell all or a portion of their assets in an orderly fashion in either a section 363 sale or through a plan of liquidation in Bankruptcy Court. The Law Offices of Stuppi & Stuppi have represented numerous sellers and purchasers of assets in Bankruptcy Court with successful results. Our attorneys have the knowledge and depth of experience in these matters, from negotiating the asset purchase agreement and bid protections to closing the deal.
