TESTIMONIALS
“Elyse C. Pillitteri crushed it on my extremely complicated business sale. This grueling deal involved revised purchase agreements, federal & state liquor license transfers, buying out my previous partner pre-closing, creating leases for multiple supporting properties, and negotiating consulting agreements. She also handled multiple LOIs and the M&A broker on my behalf. She saw things I missed or wanted to ignore, figured out a way to make sure I understood the obstacles, and proposed solid solutions. I was considering using my business lawyer to manage this deal, which definitely would have been a mistake. You need the right professionals on your side to close an M&A deal. I could not have gotten through it without Elyse. Professional, relentless, and got the job done right. Highly recommend for tough business exits and M&A in NJ/PA.” – ANTHONY VALENZANO, FORMER OWNER, VALENZANO WINERY
