Angela B. Martin: Experienced Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Attorney in Manchester, New Hampshire

I help business owners navigate the sometimes unchartered waters of business ownership and succession planning. As co-founder of our firm’s Startup Team, I assist entrepreneurs with structuring their business entity (drafting and negotiating governing documents) and then taking the company through its growth phase (hiring employees, protecting intellectual property, implementing equity incentive plans for executives and owners, assisting with and positioning the company for institutional financing, private security offerings, and strategic acquisitions). I also help companies achieve their goals through successful exit planning whether that event involves bringing in the next generation of business owners, selling to a key management team or going out to market for a third-party sale transaction to a financial or strategic buyer.
