Thomas Flickinger

I help Grand Rapids area businesses and individuals achieve their goals and protect their wealth. I regularly counsel both new entrepreneurs and existing business owners on a variety of matters, including: helping with the formation of their business in a way that is tax friendly but minimizes personal risk liability, advising on operational and employment issues that arise, and providing counsel regarding real estate acquisitions and leases, liquor licensing, franchise agreements, contracts, and business succession planning.

I also advise clients on acquisitions and sales of businesses (i.e., mergers and acquisitions or M&A). Frequently, this process includes many of the following steps: drafting of confidentiality agreements, negotiation of letters of intent, structuring the Stock Purchase Agreement or Asset Purchase Agreement, assistance with due diligence, overseeing closing, and counseling regarding any post-closing matters.
