Here when it matters
Legal support is vital when buying or selling a business
Transferring business ownership involves more than signatures. It means dealing with assets, liabilities, contracts, staff, intellectual property and often the goodwill of the brand. Without thorough legal due diligence and carefully negotiated agreements, you could face financial risk, unexpected obligations or future disputes. Having a specialist solicitor ensures that the transaction is handled professionally, thoroughly, and in line with your goals. We’ll help you understand what’s at stake, minimise your exposure to risk, and ensure all terms are clear and enforceable.
In addition to the purchase and disposal itself, our expert team will handle all other related aspects, such as TUPE and liaising with accountants.
Tailored support for your next move
Buying a business
When expanding your business portfolio, it's important you weigh up the associated risk and assess the profits you could see from your investment. We'll help with due diligence, financing and completion, whilst providing the insight you need to purchase with confidence.
