Safeguard Your Business Partnership with a Buy-Sell Agreement
Starting or running a business with partners? One of the most important legal tools you can put in place is a buy-sell agreement. At Howell Law, serving clients across North Carolina and Georgia, we help business owners protect their investments and plan for the future through strategic contract drafting.
What Is a Buy-Sell Agreement?
A buy-sell agreement is a legally binding contract that governs what happens if a business partner retires, dies, becomes disabled, or decides to leave. It helps avoid disputes and provides a clear plan for business continuity.

Can be funded through life insurance for liquidity
