Or in order for the merger doctrine to be applicable the dominant estate must obtain title to the servient estate?
answered on Aug 2, 2020

Thus, you need to determine if there is anything in it for you, if an estate is worth commencing, and if a return should be... Read more »

the paperwork, he verbally agreed that my employees wouldn't be let go, but he seems to be reneging on that promise now that he has all the power. Do I have any recourse?
answered on Jul 22, 2017
Probably not unless you want to argue it was fraud in the inducement and seek to rescind the merger.

answered on Apr 27, 2017
Many non-compete clauses are invalidated because they're too broad. Have a lawyer look at it.

The merger agreement dictates which state laws apply. As to that decision it depends if it is a merger of equals or one is entity will remain in control. The decision should be based on what is best for the merged entity.
