Understanding the Acquisition or Sale of a Business
Buying or selling a business involves more than signing a contract — it’s a process that requires planning, careful review, and clear agreements. Our solicitors make sure each stage is handled thoroughly so you can move forward with confidence.
Preparing for the Transaction
We help you get your business or purchase ready by reviewing its legal position, creating pre-transaction agreements, and ensuring essential documents are in order before negotiations begin.
Managing Legal Due Diligence
Our team handles all due diligence enquiries, reviews key documents such as statutory books and contracts, and ensures accurate information is provided through secure channels.
Drafting and Negotiating Agreements
From heads of terms to final purchase agreements, we prepare and negotiate contracts, warranties, and indemnities that protect your position and reflect the agreed deal.
Completion and Beyond
We guide you through completion day, handle all required post-transaction filings, and provide a comprehensive record of the signed documents for your future reference.
Emotional and Practical Support
Selling or buying a business can feel daunting, exciting, or often a mix of both. We provide clear, straightforward guidance, breaking the process down into manageable steps so you always know what to expect.
Alongside the legal work, we take the time to understand your priorities and concerns. By working closely with you and other professionals involved, we help reduce stress, keep momentum, and make the experience as smooth as possible.
