Who We Are

The Principals of CenterPoint have extensive experience representing both sellers and buyers, and have an in-depth understanding of the complex issues facing each side in a transaction. We anticipate obstacles and respond proactively before small problems escalate into potential deal killers. Having represented buyers and sellers in transactions ranging from under $1 million to over $120 million, we understand what each side needs to make the deal happen.

Our principles are actively involved in the financial community and have a network of resources which routinely benefit our clients; from attorneys to accountants, lenders to private equity groups, insurance companies to public relations firms . . . we are in contact with professionals who can help you extract the maximum value from your most important asset.

Entrepreneurs take tremendous financial risks, sacrifice their time and overcome frustrating government regulations. It's gratifying to help them convert all of their hard work into financial security and allow them to pursue their dreams.
