Business Sale or Purchase

If your business is on the market for sale or considering acquiring a business, it marks a pivotal step in your strategic agenda. Securing the best deal demands tenacity, creativity, flexibility, and adept project management. With numerous legal intricacies at play, partnering with our team of seasoned corporate lawyers ensures thorough planning and successful negotiation for the sale or acquisition.

Why engage a corporate solicitor for your transaction?

Irrespective of your business’s scale, navigating through complex procedures and securing meticulously crafted contractual documents is imperative to safeguard your interests both during and after the deal. Collaborating with a proficient team of corporate solicitors adds value, mitigates risks, and ensures the protection of your best interests. For instance, if a specific contract, supply chain, or asset holds significance for you, it’s crucial to ascertain its true value and ensure robust future security.

What role does a company solicitor play in a corporate acquisition?

The critical stages involved in completing a company or business sale typically include:

Heads of Terms: Drafting and negotiating the Heads of Terms to establish the foundation of the transaction.

Due diligence: Managing the due diligence process, wherein the buyer investigates the target business to identify potential liabilities. We provide guidance on any issues that arise, such as employment matters (e.g., redundancies and TUPE) and their impact on commercial contracts.

Key contractual documents: Drafting, negotiating, and finalizing various contractual documents, including:

Purchase agreement (either an ’Asset Purchase Agreement’ or a ’Share Purchase Agreement’) to govern the sale terms, incorporating relevant warranties and indemnities.

A ’Disclosure Letter’ is prepared by the seller to disclose any business liabilities and limit seller liability under the warranties in the purchase agreement.

Ancillary documents to transfer legal ownership of assets or shares in the target business.

Any necessary funding arrangements for the transaction.

Completion: Managing the completion process involves signing all documents and addressing any post-sale requirements.

Every transaction is unique, necessitating assistance from a corporate solicitor for planning, strategic advice, preparation of contractual documentation, negotiation representation, and ensuring adherence to appropriate company law procedures.
