Sales and Acquisitions

Guiding businesses through acquisitions, disposals and strategic transactions with confidence.

Clear and controlled legal fees

Commercial legal work is often bespoke, but that does not mean fees should be uncertain. Where appropriate, we offer fixed-fee pricing so you can understand and control your legal spend from the outset.

Before starting work, we will discuss the scope of support required, agree what is included and explain any assumptions or variables that may affect the fee.

Our Experience

Buying and selling businesses, capital raising or investing can be a huge decision for many businesses and individuals, often with life changing results. 

 

The legal steps involved in such transactions can be lengthy, time consuming and costly. 

 

When making decisions of this magnitude, a wide range of factors must be carefully considered, including price, timing, contractual terms (such as indemnities, warranties and payment terms), tax implications, the impact on employees, shareholder interests (both majority and minority), regulatory approvals, customer consents, and other third-party approvals.

You need lawyers that have experience in both buying and selling businesses, who understand the market you operate within, and who understand the emotional rollercoaster you are embarking on.

 

Our lawyers have decades of experience handing the sale and purchase of companies, both through asset and share transactions.

 

We have the necessary experience to advise on both legal and regulatory matters, ensuring that your transaction concludes in a satisfactory manner, and that the fees you pay are kept to an absolute minimum.
