Sussman Shank LLP represents Ames and Oates, LLC, a local Oregon business that curates gift boxes designed with thought, purpose, and beauty.  Our team assisted in forming the limited liability company for the purpose of acquiring an existing business. Once the new entity was established, we guided the client through the full purchase process, ensuring a smooth and well-structured transaction from start to finish, and a stress-free closing.

Attorneys Natalie Smith and Melanie Choch led the legal work on this matter. This matter reflects our firm’s commitment to supporting businesses of all sizes – from emerging ventures to established companies – through every stage of growth and transition.

“When I purchased Ames & Oates, the Sussman Shank team guided me through every step with expertise and care. They ensured the company was protected and positioned for long-term success, which allowed me to focus on growing a brand built on generosity, connection, and purpose. Their support made a complex process seamless—and genuinely empowering” says Suzanne Tenney, Manager of Ames & Oates.
