Parties

“Having this team negotiate the challenges of a sale gave me great comfort and confidence that the best possible agreement between parties would be executed most professionally. The selling of a brand is very involved and complex, and it behooves anyone thinking of divesting their business to consider the team in Jacksonville to represent their interests. The details and legalities should be best left with those experts who deal in this genre every day.”
