A bill of sale is a legal document made by the seller for the purchaser/buyer that reports the time and place of sale as well as the value received [money or otherwise]. This written instrument transfers the title of personal property from the seller to the buyer.
A bill of sale can be absolute or conditional. An absolute bill of sale simply documents the transfer of personal property; it is equivalent to a contract of sale of goods under common law. A conditional bill of sale also documents transfer of property but with the condition of security for the payment due. It therefore creates security in favor of the grantee [the buyer] because the grantee is given the right of seizure.
Contract Negotiation
A breach of contract— the failure to perform as stated in the contract—will result in the award of damages. These are typically monetary but also can include “specific performance,” which refers to actions that the losing party needs to take.
Parties who wish to enter into a contract should be aware of the obligations that each party has. The business law attorneys at Tuohy Minor Kruse can help you draft proper agreements, negotiate terms, or review contracts drafted by another attorney. We have the experience and knowledge to help your business achieve the most efficient and protective agreements for your specific needs.

Purchase and Sale of Your Business
A business looking to gain a valuable asset often purchases a successful, smaller business, usually through an acquisition or a merger. This purchase and sale process can often be complex for both sides, each with its own set of risks and concerns. Whether you are looking to acquire a new business, or sell your assets to a larger company, a consultation with the business law attorneys at Tuohy Minor Kruse can help you reduce your risk and save time and money.

My Approach to Employment Law
Litigation is both an expensive and stressful experience. As a trial lawyer my focus is to keep litigants out of trial if possible. With my experience representing both employees and employers in employment- and labor-related matters I will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the case and develop a comprehensive approach to case management. I handle employment law-related matters at all stages, including the initial workplace investigation resulting in pre-litigation advice to potential litigants in both state and federal courts. I will assist you with developing an effective strategy for the prosecution or defense of an employment law-related lawsuit.
