About Hal Stanton
I am Of Counsel at Groundswell Advisors, LLP, a law firm dedicated to helping entrepreneurs buy, grow, and sell SMBs. Groundswell serves searchers and sponsors, just like you.
I started SMB-Transactions to provide a source of content for those looking to understand more about the legal side of buying an SMB.
I received my Juris Doctor with honors from the University of Michigan Law School. Before Groundswell, I worked in private practice, representing some of the biggest companies in the world.
Born and raised in the UK, I live in Detroit, Michigan, with my wife and son.
Follow me on LinkedIn and X for daily content. All views are my own.
