What rules must Utah businesses abide by during commercial transactions?
Each commercial transaction is unique, and the specific rules that apply depend on the terms of the deal. Our experienced business lawyers advise clients on the Utah Uniform Commercial Code, the state’s Commercial Financing Disclosure Act and other relevant state and federal laws. You can also rely us for comprehensive guidance on general contract law principles, helping you avoid problems from arising later on.
What common problems can negatively affect commercial and industrial transactions?
As the size of a transaction grows, so does the scope of potential problems. Some issues involve the financial structure of agreement, particularly if the buying party is relying on one or more loans. Industrial matters can trigger environmental, land use and zoning concerns, particularly when some type of regulatory approval is required. There can also be questions about performance, such as the quality of machinery being sold or the date on which goods must be delivered. In commercial real estate transactions, a buyer could also raise concerns relating to property liens or other title defects.
Do strong business contracts make commercial and industrial transactions go smoother?
When a business owner or manager has a promising deal in front of them, it is natural that they want to close the transaction as quickly as possible. However, haste might lead them to overlook some key concerns, possibly setting the stage for litigation down the road. Whether you are purchasing a company, selling heavy equipment or engaging in another type of transaction, our company spots potential pitfalls and drafts strong commercial contracts that address potential contingencies. This thoroughness sets the stage for a smooth closing and potentially a harmonious business relationship.
Why should Provo businesses hire an attorney to help with commercial and industrial transactions?
A handshake deal might sound nice, but there is too much at stake in a major commercial or industrial transaction to leave things to chance. Retaining a qualified attorney at the start helps companies protect their interests while considering potential changes to the proposed deal. We make sure key issues are not missed in contracts and ensure compliance with pertinent laws.
