First, we’ll do an overview of “what every estate planner should know about corporate and tax laws in the context of business transactions.”  Then we’ll address various aspects of a business and its corporate transactions and the potential impact on estate planning vehicles a client may have in place and vice versa.  We’ll finish with learning the following select topics where business transactions and estate planning intersect:  a survey of the various corporate agreements and estate planning documents that should be reviewed in contemplation of a business transaction (e.g., sale to strategic third-party, sale to a private equity firm, IPOs, ESOPs), pre- and post-transaction planning, planning for entrepreneurs, and other related issues.
