Closing Document Preparation

Legal Preparation of Documents for Closing a Deal in the USA

Closing a deal is the final stage of any transaction, requiring a carefully prepared set of documents. The accuracy of execution determines the legality of the transfer of rights, fulfillment of obligations, and avoidance of future disputes. Our legal team provides full support in preparing documents for closing deals in the USA—from analysis to final signing.

What Is Included in the Document Preparation Service for Closing a Deal

We offer a comprehensive approach, which includes:

• analysis of the main agreement (purchase-sale contract, M&A, financing, lease, etc.);
• preparation of a closing checklist (list of required documents);
• drafting or reviewing closing documents: transfer deeds, corporate resolutions, payment orders, certificates, confirmations of contract fulfillment;
• coordination of the deal parties before signing the documents;
• organization of electronic or physical signing and archiving of materials.

The service covers legal communication with other parties, banks, notaries, and registrars to avoid any delays or legal discrepancies.

Why Involve a Lawyer in the Deal Closing Process?

A lawyer ensures that all documents comply with U.S. law, reflect the terms of the deal, and protect the client's interests.

Self-closing a deal without a lawyer may only be justified for very simple transactions between private individuals. In all other cases, professional legal support is mandatory.

Terms and Conditions Under Which We Can Provide the Service

Legal preparation of closing documents is possible:

• based on a signed agreement (Letter of Intent, Term Sheet, Purchase Agreement, etc.);
• provided all necessary source materials are submitted: copies of the parties' documents, corporate paperwork, bank details, and data on the deal’s subject;
• as part of an end-to-end deal support or as a standalone service within a larger legal project.

What Exactly Does a Lawyer Do During Deal Closing Preparation?

Our lawyers:

• review all prior legal documents for risks;
• coordinate closing documents with all deal parties and their representatives;
• prepare a document package considering jurisdiction requirements, deal type, and corporate laws of the parties;
• ensure deadlines are met, verify signatures, notarizations, registration numbers, etc.;
• oversee the signing process and submission of documents to required authorities (banks, state registries, SEC, etc., if stipulated by the agreement).
