Program Meeting: Legal Help for Business Brokers
November 1, 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Double Tree Hotel, 5400 Computer Drive, Westborough MA, 01581
Please join us for our November program, which will cover Legal Help for Business Brokers – Collecting difficult commissions and other troublesome legal questions.
- What to include in your listing agreement, the offer, asset purchase agreement and other key documents to protect you and your commission
- What to do when you don’t think the seller will pay your commission or the seller refuses to pay your commission
- How to go after your seller to resolve legal claims? Arbitration, 93A, Small Claims, or hire an attorney?
- When to hire an attorney
- How to obtain and enforce a judgment
- And much, much more!
All this and more will be covered in this insightful meeting on Wednesday November 1st at the Double Tree in Westborough. Join us at our next meeting with Attorney Marc Clerc from Clerc & Associates, P.C. in South Easton and Attorney Eric Sigman of Laredo & Smith, LLP in Boston.
This will be an eye-opening night for business brokers. It’s not difficult to get into a situation where a seller isn’t living up to their obligation to pay the broker. You’ve already found the buyer and put the deal together, but now the lawyer is running the last stage of the transaction and you get the feeling that some or all your commission is not going to be paid. How do you respond? What if you think the seller sold the business without paying you? What avenues do you have to go after a commission?
