Buying a business, selling one, or restructuring how it’s owned are among the most consequential decisions an owner will ever make, decisions that call for counsel who understands both the deal mechanics and the business itself. Egan, Flanagan and Cohen has guided companies across Western Massachusetts through commercial transactions and mergers and acquisitions for over a century, bringing the same diligence to a routine asset purchase as we do to a complex, multi-party acquisition.
Deal experience across a wide range of industries.
Our attorneys have structured, negotiated, and closed transactions for car dealerships, nursing homes and healthcare facilities, manufacturers, government contractors, family-owned businesses, construction firms, and charities and non-profits, among many others. That breadth matters: each of these industries carries its own regulatory considerations, deal structures, and risk points, and our clients benefit from attorneys who have already navigated them, not attorneys learning the industry on the client’s dime.
Full-service counsel through every stage of a transaction.
We guide clients from the earliest stages of deal structuring through closing and beyond, negotiating letters of intent, conducting and managing due diligence, drafting and negotiating purchase and sale agreements, structuring asset and stock transactions, and advising on the entity formation and tax considerations that shape a deal’s outcome. For sellers, we help maximize value and manage risk through representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions. For buyers, we help identify and address the liabilities that don’t show up on a balance sheet.
Scaled to the deal, not the other way around.
A family business changing hands between generations calls for a different approach than a multimillion-dollar acquisition involving institutional investors and outside financing, and our attorneys bring the appropriate level of sophistication to each. Clients shouldn’t have to outgrow their law firm as their transactions grow more complex; at Egan, Flanagan and Cohen, we’re built to scale with them.

- Mergers and Acquisitions

- Due Diligence
- Business Formation and Entity Structuring

Whether the transaction is a straightforward asset purchase for a growing local business or a complex, multi-party acquisition involving institutional financing, Egan, Flanagan and Cohen brings the judgment, industry knowledge, and attention to detail that these deals demand.
