We also are experts in self-funding and equity financing arrangements as well.
Experienced Mediators
A shareholder buyout can be amicable if the shareholders mutually agree to go their separate ways. Sometimes, however, shareholder buyouts turn into drawn-out and costly disputes, especially if there is not a shareholder or buy-sell agreement in place among the partners. Our advisors at Links Financial have extensive experience mediating buyout disagreements and always work to ensure a positive solution for our clients.
