A theft lawyer can assess whether a store checkout dispute meets New York's larceny elements, including unlawful taking and intent to deprive. Leaving a store with unpaid merchandise does not, by itself, establish every element of theft. Receipts, checkout records, and surveillance footage may show whether an item was paid for or how it left the store. The item's value and the store's ownership or possessory rights may also affect the charges.

Due diligence answers what the buyer will own and what it will inherit. In an asset purchase that question is not settled by the agreement alone, because New York recognizes successor liability where the buyer impliedly assumes the obligations, where the transaction is a de facto merger, or where the buyer is a mere continuation of the seller. Some liabilities follow by statute regardless of the structure. Tax Law § 1141(c) imposes the seller’s unpaid sales tax on a purchaser of business assets that fails to notify the Department at least ten days before the transfer, capped at the purchase price or the fair market value of the assets. What diligence finds determines what the agreement has to carry. A known exposure is handled by a specific indemnity, a purchase price adjustment or an escrow rather than by a general representation, and an unknown one is what the basket, cap and survival period are priced against.
