Essential Partner for Our Business Acquisition

When our family-owned manufacturing company in Waukesha was presented with a complex acquisition offer, we knew we needed an attorney with specific expertise. Chad Richter was recommended for his focus on mergers and acquisitions, and the recommendation was spot on. His dual background in business economics and law from Marquette was immediately evident. He didn't just review the legal documents; he provided a strategic analysis of the deal's structure, tax implications, and long-term operational impact on our partnership. His guidance through the due diligence process was meticulous, and he identified several critical issues in the asset purchase agreement that we had completely overlooked. The recognition he's received in business organizations and corporate law is clearly well-deserved. Chad was responsive, translated complex legal concepts into plain English, and ultimately helped us negotiate terms that secured our family's legacy and financial future. He is more than a lawyer; he's a strategic business advisor.
