A run of luck: after this entrepreneur sold his company, he gained even more business control
Entrepreneur, March, 2005 by David Worrell
WHIT McISAAC, CEO of Client Profiles Inc., an Atlanta legal software company, wanted to reap the financial re wards of selling his business, but also to maintain control of the company's direction. And he got both.
McIsaac, 43, sold Client Profiles in late 2000 to litigation support business FirmLogic as part of an industry consolidation plan. The purchase price included cash, shares of FirmLogic, and lucrative employment contracts for McIsaac and his executives.
When the technology bubble burst a few months later, however, FirmLogic had a change of heart and wanted out. McIsaac bought Client Profiles back for pennies on the dollar. The repurchase price included no cash; McIsaac simply gave back the stock, waived his employment contract and walked away with most of his original business intact.
