A substantial portion of Mr. Petrosino’s practice consists of advising businesses of all sizes in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, the formation and organization of new business ventures, federal and state taxation, commercial lending, supplier and customer contract preparation, intellectual property, and general commercial law. Creating a new business can be incredibly exciting and incredibly harrowing. Mr. Petrosino has helped many people through the legal aspects of business formation and organization. He finds it quite rewarding to play a part in the fulfillment of entrepreneurial dreams.

In the area of mergers and acquisitions, Mr. Petrosino provides thorough guidance about what buyers and sellers can expect during the negotiation, due diligence, and closing process. Many sellers feel overwhelmed with information disclosure requests made by a potential buyer, and they are very concerned about confidentiality. Buyers want to know what they are buying so they can assess whether the price they are paying is fair. Mr. Petrosino has significant experience with helping buyers and sellers safely traverse the acquisition landscape and close the deal.

Mr. Petrosino enjoys being a regular speaker at National Business Institute and Lorman Education Services seminars. He has covered topics such as choosing a business entity, weighing the pros and cons of limited liability companies, Vermont sales and use tax, and applying various commercial law concepts to the Internet.
