Buying or Selling
Private Limited Companies
and Businesses

Whether you're thinking about buying or selling a company, business assets or considering a merger, we have experienced specialists and the firm-wide capability to help you achieve your goals.

Buying and Selling

From the outset, we will help you to agree the terms of the proposed transaction. This may involve the preparation of heads of terms. We can then assist you with the process called due diligence, by either issuing or answering the detailed questions required, in order to uncover any hidden liabilities and risks that may affect the transaction or its value.

We will then either prepare or review and negotiate the contract on your behalf, ensuring you receive the best possible protection available. Finally we will deal with the further disclosure of pertinent information, to further reduce the chance of a claim after the deal completes for breach of warranty.

Within the team we have extensive experience of high value
transactions including:

• Acting for a US purchaser on the £750,000
  acquisition of a software company.

• Acting for the Vendor on a £15 million disposal
  of a multi-practice dentistry company.

Regardless of the value of the transaction, we apply the same care and professionalism to all our deals, ensuring that you feel "in control" of the process.
