Business Sales & Purchases

The sale or purchase of a business usually starts with some simple terms and open optimism; however, the transaction can quickly turn into a complex and stressful ordeal for all parties.

Our team of experienced commercial law solicitors can support you and your business from a short review and report on a draft sale / purchase agreement to full advice on the transaction including – for example:

• Advice whether to sell / purchase shares or assets and key heads of terms to be agreed;
• Preparing replies or raising due diligence enquiries with the seller;
• Drafting and negotiating the purchase contract;
• Advising on warranties and indemnities within the contract;
• Examining the title of any property related to the sale / purchase;
• Preparing or reviewing a disclosure letter and bundle; and
• Dealing with the many necessary ancillary documents including stock transfer forms, receipts, board minutes, share certificates, and Companies House filing.

We offer a flexible service to allow you to select the legal support and advice you want. This could mean you can save costs by carrying out parts of the transaction yourself.
