The lawyers
The three people who will do the work
No juniors you’ll never meet: the lawyer on your first call is the one who drafts your papers.
Lucius Faircloth
Partner · Hand off and Deal
Handles the sale, purchase and succession of owner-run businesses, from the letter of intent to the closing table.
Junia Ferebee
Associate · Deal and Launch
Reads and redlines the contracts: leases, supplier and wholesale terms, services agreements. Works in English and Spanish.
From owners
What owners say about working with us
“I had three quotes for forming the bakery and two of them were hourly guesses. Theirs was a number, and the invoice matched it to the dollar.”
Wynona R.Owner, a bakery in West Asheville
“Junia marked up our first wholesale contract and explained every change in a sentence I could repeat to my partner.”
Thaddeus K.Co-owner, a cider house
“When we sold the shop, Lucius told us on day one what the closing would cost and what it would not cover. Nothing surprised us after that.”
Briony L.Former owner, a frame shop
Sample quotes. Every client’s matter is different, and what we did for one business doesn’t promise the same result for another.
