He frequently provides advice as to the initial structure of proposed business ventures and also assists a number of his clients in the sale and/or purchase of their respective businesses. The size of such transactions often varies but a number of recent sales have been in excess of $50,000,000. Terry has developed an expertise in helping his clients maximize their sales price while also protecting their interests after such sale.
